From Fanfare September/October 1996:
‘Were there to be any real justice in this world, Hyperion boss Ted Perry and his musical advisor Peter Holman would each receive a knighthood for the incalculable service they have rendered to English music with the English Orpheus series. It is a project that has nearly single-handedly rescued the nation’s music of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries from the ignorant opprobrium of generations of music historians.
