Gramophone REVIEW out today: " Johnston Turner...razor-sharp... sultry... and exuding a confident swagger....w.barry.9's reputation has been built on firm film-music foundations. Nevertheless, the American composer is equally at home in the concert hall, as heard on this colourful and dynamic recording of works for wind ensemble."

Thank you to Professor Pwyll Ap Sion at Bangor University for his close listening and brilliant writing.

Shout out to Matthew Hoch and the American Guild of Organists for this rave review of Ēriks Ešenvalds' first ever mass, performed by GRAMMY®-winning conductor, :

"Ešenvalds’s choral writing is, as usual, superb. ... Laurin Composer/Compositrice's 'Diptych'…is a satisfying outlet for Daryl Robinson’s virtuosity.”

“Worthy of repeated listening and welcome additions to the choral and organ repertory. This recording is highly recommended.”

Available direct from the Label as CD and download, and streaming everywhere.
