David Mellors, Critic’s Choice,Classic FM.

“To round off the evening, we were given a special treat: Elgar’s Sea Pictures arranged for Choir and Strings by Donald Fraser. For this, the ensemble was joined by the Academia Musica Choir. 
Normally scored for contralto solo, this moving version worked so convincingly that at times I was hard put to recall the original.”
