"Leong really makes his mark with the concluding Passacaglia, a form so beloved of both Britten and Shostakovich as a metaphorical anchor in times of great stress. Suddenly psychological ambiguities are set aside and in the wake of one war Britten becomes contentious objector of all. With outstanding collaboration from the Philharmonia Orchestra I can’t recall a better account of the piece than this." - Gramophone (Alpha)
