Industry Reviews Daring in conception and extravagant in execution, like the nation...the music in this folk opera recording is primitive, raw and dark... Dirty Linen (06/01/1999)
3 Stars (out of 5) - ...Russell writes superb sketches of modern western culture....It's an ambitious work that lacks pace at times but there are beautiful performances....charmingly affectionate... Q (06/01/1999)
