"It is particularly rewarding finding a twentieth-century British composer's work produced to such a high standard . . . Lloyd-Jones claims that when the edition is completed, "no British composer born in the twentieth century will have been better served by his publisher". That could well be true." - Peter Dickinson, Music and Letters, May 2002
"As for the new score, it is nicely produced . . . and feels good . . . The commentary on each item is thorough, and worth reading even by those who normally ignore the small print . . . But congratulations to the editor and publisher for at least putting the whole of the Façade material together in one volume with full explanation." - Clifford Bartlett, Brio, Spring/Summer 2001
