'... there is much to please in Petitgirard's music, its orchestral
textures neatly managed and expressive, and on this CD the emphasis on
the concerto format interestingly delivered -- not least in the
employment of a choir singing Esperanto texts in "Le Legendaire", a 21-
minute single movement violin concerto completed in 1984 in which the
set of twenty words have been selected to link with the concept of
"legend". For all that, the overall sound is intriguing.'

- Patric Standford, writing in today's Music & Vision Magazine.
