	Hoddinott Dives and Lazarus LYRITA SRCD332 [CC]: Classical CD Reviews- May 2004 MusicWeb(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		This CD is complementary to SRCD331, a Lyrita disc that includes three of Hoddinott’s symphonies.
		Perhaps it is the moments of greatest delicacy that are most memorable (in ‘Ave Maris Stella’, the second movement), yet this is not to demean the very close of the work, which exudes a haunting sense of stillness.
		Equipped with both this disc and with the Hoddinott Symphonies, you will be ideally poised to appreciate many aspects of this composer’s art.

	HODDINOTT Symphonies 2,3,5 LYRITA SRCD331 [CC]: Classical CD Reviews- April 2004 MusicWeb(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Dedicated to Alan Rawsthorne, Hoddinott’s Second Symphony was first performed in 1962 at the Cheltenham Festival by the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
		Hoddinott calls for an expanded percussion section, in keeping with the work’s extended orchestrational palette.
		The percussion come into their own in the delightful, spiky Scherzo, a movement that works itself up so much it seems to exhaust itself.

	The BBC National Orchestra of Wales plays Ravel, Hoddinott and Vaughan Williams, reviewed by Rex Harley
		As for the brass, always one of VW's strengths, how he would have loved to have heard the BBC NOW brass section, especially the trumpets, who played out of their skins: Tadaaki Otaka is one of those conductors who coaxes the very best out of his players.
		While Alun Hoddinott's music is hardly 'school of Vaughan Williams', Symphony No 7 shares both the sparkling orchestration and rhythmic vitality of Sinfonia Antartica, at least in its two outer movements; and it too makes dramatic use both of organ and tuned percussion.
		There is a strong sense of the dance, albeit in a spiky, frenetic form, the music lurching forward at times like a man toppling almost, but not quite, off balance.
