“It must be said at the outset: this music is beautiful. … timbrally rich, melodically centred, semi-opaque … With his first portrait CD, this fabulous work can reach a much wider listenership.”
“… a mesmerizing sonic journey unlike anything we've heard before … Croft's compositions are intricate and unpredictable … . Each track is a sonic treasure trove waiting to be discovered, with layers of sonic textures and intricate details that reveal themselves upon repeated listens. … Seirenes is a truly captivating listening experience that will keep you coming back for more. … Don't miss out on this gem of an album – it's a game-changer in the world of experimental music.
“Disconcerting, darkly beautiful and sometimes even implying modality, Croft’s tone poems – because that’s really what they are – prove absorbing, challenging and ultimately rewarding.”
Marc Medwin, Fanfare

“The six settings of Ancient Greek poets evoke a remote yet involving sound-world, the soprano becoming a focal-point of eloquence in this imaginative musical experience.”
