"Bax's Tintagel is a classic performance; and although for some tastes J. B. lingered too lovingly in Delius, I for one am still deeply moved by this interpretation of A Song of Summer, while the Irmelin Prelude is exquisite. A nostalgic disc, both for the music and for the manner of its performance."
Gramophone
"Barbirolli's Tintagel is the finest ever recorded and is unlikely ever to be surpassed."
