"The clarity and perfect intonation of Nancy Ruffer’s flute playing is a real bonus on this disc, and McGuire, knowing the instrument as he does, gives it full expression and a wide range against the softness of the guitar in Fountain of Tears, and leaning solidly against the more robust sonorities of the piano in Caprice."

"Eddie McGuire is one of the most modest voices in Scottish music. But, as this captivating disc shows, he is also one of the most distinguished and eloquent composers of his generation. Every one of these solo or ensemble pieces...is a gem...Rarely does new music come over so beautifully."

"a must-have collection…exquisitely crafted…An important collection.”

"A recognised master and winner of a British Composer Award, Eddie continues his highly impressive career. This album of solo and chamber works will simply add to his reputation as an artist of sensitivity, skill and emotional depth. Stunning."

MUSICIANS' UNION MAGAZINE

"The music is frequently of a serious nature, but is never heavily depressing or overly symbolic – it can always be enjoyed on its own terms, whatever the original inspiration or message. I sincerely hope this recording will bring Eddie McGuire’s work to a wider public – this is surely what it deserves."

"There is plenty of interest and variety here and the music is well worth investigating."
