Knussen, Oliver - Cantata

. . .the title aptly reflects both the songful character of the musical invention and the relationship of wind solo to string trio. . .[a] composition of great charm and precise character: its other virtues, of well-found pAvailableortions, distinctive harmonic movement, and secure control of incident, must not be allowed to sound negative ones.Max Loppert, Financial Times, 9 March 1981
