Reviews of the Metamorphoses Comments on this CD are beginning to come in.

Julia White writes in the Double Reed News (UK):
"This excellent CD and booklet will be of use to anyone interested in the Metamorphoses. George Caird's meticulous research... takes the booklet far beyond liner notes usually provided...
"Boughton's 1952 performance... is spirited and highly successful... Caird's and Daniel's quality performances are new, digital versions. The three interestingly conjure very different worlds, ...and it is extremely useful to have them side by side.
"This CD will be invaluable in producing a new generation of informed yet crucially individual performances of this ever-fascinating work."

Dr Nicholas Clark of the Britten-Pears Library writes:
"The whole thing, recording and booklet, is very well put together, and with a very striking cover as well. Congratulations to George Caird and to everyone at Oboe Classics on a brilliant job."

The CD has also been short-listed for a Royal Philharmonic Society Award 2008, in the 'creative communication' category.
