“MARTIN SUCKLING’S music is both expansive and intimate, and this new release from Delphian truly exploits this nature of his music. ... The opening song cycle, which gives the album its name, opens a vast colourful world. Marta Fontanals-Simmons handles the lyrical lines with delicacy and care and underlines the beautiful distinction and interaction between the piano and singer. Both Her Lullaby and Nocturne, work as wonderful palate-cleansers which contrast greatly from the larger works The Tuning and the string quintet Emily’s Electrical Absence ...Overall, the album manages to condense a lot of the wonderful qualities of Suckling’s works and leaves me wanting more”
