Kritike
Fanfare USA1996Ko sem v mirnem newyorškem predmestju White Plains preživljal običajno viharno mladostništvo, nisem imel pojma, da je tam živel tudi Percy Grainger. Sumim, da za to niso vedeli niti učitelji glasbe na moji nižji in višji srednji…Preberite kritiko 
Gramophone Magazine1996Pred nami je druga plošča v zadnjih mesecih, ki nas postavi iz oči v oči z Graingerjem. Njegova glasba (ali taka glasba, kot jo imamo na obeh teh recitalih) spominja na to, kar si predstavljam kot učinek njegove fizične…Preberite kritiko 
The Age, Melbourne1996»Vrednosti moje glasbe ne bo nikoli mogoče uganiti, niti njene vrednosti za človeštvo občutiti, dokler se k njej ne pristopi zavestno kot k romanju k žalostim.« Tako je zapisal Percy Grainger, skladatelj, čigar glasbo običajno…Preberite kritiko 
The Chicago Tribune1996Zbirke glasbe Percyja Graingerja običajno poudarjajo njeno energijo in živahnost. Ne ta.

Osvetljuje tudi globoko sorodnost s Kiplingom. Neutrudna energija, vera v človeka (še posebej, če je…Preberite kritiko
- Fono Forum, Germany1996Pri nas je ameriški vsestranski glasbeni umetnik Percy Grainger (1882–1961) v najboljšem primeru znan kot ekscentrični popotnik med svetovi. V anglosaških krogih pa si je ohranil določen sloves. Z izvajalskega vidika njegova dela…Preberite kritiko

Classica Répertoire France1996Obsežni cikel Jungle Book je Graingerja zaposloval nič manj kot devetinpetdeset let; natanko od 1898 do 1947! To pove, kakšno zanimanje je gojil za čudovita besedila obeh Kiplingovih Knjig o džungli. Skladatelj jih je zasnoval…Preberite kritiko
