CHOIR & ORGAN (March/April 2004)
"Dankworth sings plaintively with chorus and orchestra the seven spirituals, Feel the Spirit, arranged recently by John Rutter for New York, and the young Harvey Brough's attractive Walled Garden Suite, which was written for her and choir with three winds and guitar in 2001. But the most appealing pieces on this CD are unaccompanied SATB by Bob Chilcott: Fragments from his Dish, all about food, and a wonderful cycle about making a Ugandan drum." 3*** AWARD
