| TITLE DIVINE | ||
| …TITLE DIVINE can be counted a welcome addition to the small number of recent song-and-orchestra compositions that are not just ”approachable” but fresh and interesting. Max Loppert. FINANCIAL TIMES For as it evolves through its continuous sequence of six well contrasted, but closely interrelated songs, the music quickly assumes its quite subtle and distinctive flavour. Robert Henderson. THE DAILY TELEGRAPH |

| THE WORLD AGAIN | ||
| Waking up in the morning is a universal experience but rarely does it happen as serenely as in the soprano coda that concludes Geoffrey Burgon’s orchestral Fantasy ‘The World Again’….In the rondo that forms the main part of the work, dreamless sleep is interrupted by nightmare episodes, one of them putting Hollywood film scores in inverted commas. This is perhaps less remarkable than the Ritornelli where the composer’s inventiveness suggest that it is still – or again – possible to hold the attention with a C-majorish tranquillity. Peter Stadlen. DAILY TELEGRAPH | |

| HEAVENLY THINGS | ||
| …The remarkable thing was how naturally the work – a joint commission from the BBC and The Royal Philharmonic Society - sat there, as though it were already part of the canon. I’ve no doubt it will be. Anna Picard. THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY Burgon has carefully judged (Christopher) Maltman’s declamatory power, giving him a stammering vocal line that contemplates divinity with erotic mysticism shot through with sexual violence. Tim Ashley. THE GARDIAN |
