"The orchestral scoring is bold and raw, the level of dissonance high, and the motor engery of the music unstoppable...a careering rhythmic unison which gathers pace and aggression as it goes, changing gear in brusque dislocations until it erupts into a strident transcription of an Elizabethan song and ends as abruptly as it began...an unsettling and exhilarating piece." - Andrew Clements, The Financial Times "One of those rugged and stimulating young independants, Barry is a composer whose music is impossible to categorise. What he has come up with is a work spiky, abrasive violence and ferocious engery. Barry's music is here harsh and brutal, generating a thrilling and implacable momentum." - Robert Henderson, The
Daily Telegraph "The real Chevaux-de-frise is not massively malignant at all, but perky and quizzical." - Paul Griffiths, The Times
