"Fresh and fun, these arrangements for wind quartet are a sparkling delight in performances by four very fine English players. These three-movement sonatas are early pieces by the composer, and the arrangements by a contemporary, Frederic Berr, a wind player himself, catch all of their spontaneity, dramatic flair and tunefulness. There's...a lot of good listening and some terrific horn work by Thompson, leader of this virtuoso foursome."
