"The score was revised in 2005 and that is the version Nicolas Hodges plays here, the revision making it more structurally convincing, and intensely, involvingly dramatic than I’ve ever heard it before, turning the climactic manic section – a Boulez-like toccata – into a virtuoso tour de force [...] It’s a haunting, timeless piece, full of stark attacks and lingering resonances, which manages to sweep away all the harp’s usual associations with rippling, watery effects."
(Andrew Clements for The Guardian, August 2015)
"The heavy artillery clears for some striking intervals of reflective beauty, and bursts of high-speed dynamism from the virtuosic Nicolas Hodges."
