[…] good and worthy piece, though I suspect it needs a more dynamic performance.  Please read the review in 5:4, a very good site on new music, which I wish ran year round rather than just in summer.   […]

Your review of Northcott’s work is somehow, ‘a disappointment’. You fail to see the depth and mastery crafted in Northcott’s symphonic plan. In my humble opinion the work is a masterpiece, clearly!However, there are valid points in your simple analysis, especially the Waltonesque part of it. An overall good effort to review the work, rather epidermic though. Jules Vern
