Tom Strini gently mocks the new 1520-page Penguin Guide to Compact Discs, singling out the following passage in a review of Arnold Bax's chamber works for cello: "In the Sonata, the recording does not give quite enough back-to-front depth, and there is a touch of glassiness about the sound. Things are a bit better in the Folk Tale (1920), but the recording is sufficiently wanting in bloom to inhibit a three-star recommendation." But we love our English friends. (Via The Standing Room.)
