With its rich textures bubbling with activity, not unlike Janácek thrilling at nature's evergreen renewal, the piece seeks to put into music `the energy and beauty of spring'. It is an approachable example of the music of the 1980s, deserving of a re-hearing.Richard Fairman, Financial Times, 22 April 1993
