David's Reviews

From customers:

CM
Classical M

Ward's music is direct clear and expressive; players and, I should guess, particularly singers must find his work grateful to perform ... Ward's compositions display, at their best, the stamp of the authentic, the 'necessary'.

T
Tempo

The Snow Queen works particularly well ... one of the BBC's more distinguished opera for radio commissions.
