“Niblock’s music is something of a find—genteel rapture for
a genteel composer.”
As quoted from Fanfare in Crystal Records
Catalogue, 2007
“This CD contains almost an hour’s worth of new music…having
immediate audience appeal as well as substantial challenges and rewards for the
performers.”

Crystal Records, CD 945“However, the most enjoyable piece on the CD is the piece by James Niblock. Written in 1998, the solo parts are resonant and extremely idiomatic; the violin and clarinet sing together with one voice…Niblock’s music is original but reminiscent of the tone colors of Vaughan Williams and Holst. Certainly Niblock is the most harmonically conservative of the three composers on this recording, and his piece showcases the artistry of the soloists.”
Elaine Fink in The Instrumentalist, January, 2004.
