"Braithwaite has conducted British music to very good effect, and this shows him in equally favourable light... recorded sound is first class, and the orchestra of a high standard... (Suite) 'Nocturne' is the most deeply felt movement, and he conducts in a very expressive fashion. Cherry Ripe and Sir Roger de Coverley - Braithwaite brings out their cheerful, extrovert qualities effectively... He conducts sensitively in There is a willow... (Holst) The melancholia of the Lyric Movement is deeply felt... Fugal Concerto has more to offer than originally recognized" (Gramophone)
