Bowen:
'Adrian Wilson’s bright yet supple tones were matched by warmth from Tim Horton on the piano'.

Finzi:
'Wilson’s wailing cadenza-like passage was answered with ... impassioned playing from the strings'.
'A warm yet suitably introspective performance'.

Bax:
'The spirit was infectious, with Wilson keeping them on the straight and narrow of the jig with precise articulation'.
