Reviews
"Together with Ian Thompson, John plays with style and panache throughout, each performance worthy of repeated listening." Adam Dopadilk, The Recorder Magazine.
"A complete CD of music for recorder and harpsichord? How on earth would you go about filling that? Well, it is, apparently, no problem for the redoubtable John Turner. He has assembled here a varied and fascinating programme of music, almost entirely by living composers. [...] Congratulations and thanks to both performers, as well as to the production team - which includes the composer David Ellis - of this sonically perfect recording."
Gwyn Parry-Jones, MusicWeb International
