From Delius Society Journal (United Kingdom) (Stephen F.S. Lloyd):
“A most entertaining recital. A refreshingly different CD which can be unhesitatingly recommended. The whole programme has very much the pleasant feel of a live recital about it.

From the Camden Courier-Post (Robert Baxter):
“One of [DTR’s] finest releases is Romance, Roses & Revelry, featuring lush violin scores from the English repertory performed by Davyd Booth and Michael Stairs...One wonders if any of the pop singers (of the piece Moonlight and Roses) made more of Lemare’s succulent melody than Booth and Stairs. Over Stairs’ delicately undulating organ accompaniment, Booth’s rich-toned violin soars intently. A blend of passion and patrician restraint make this five-minute piece one of the highlights of the recording.
“Moeran’s Sonata for Violin and Piano in E Minor calls for the opulent tone and ardent style Booth commands so effortlessly. He fashions a thrilling performance notable for its sweeping intensity.”

From British Music Society News:
“The whole work (Delius Third Sonata) comes across with strength and virility - qualities often missed in Delius. Neither the massive piano writing nor the stratospheric violin part (of the Moeran) hold any terrors for either artist.

From American Record Guide (Vroon):
“I can’t begin to tell you how beautiful the three items accompanied by organ are. The organ has a creamy, theatre-organ sound that perfectly supports the violinist.”
