'Johnson Over Jordan' reviews

'Hardly anything Britten composed fails to come off the page...the suite compiled by Paul Hindmarsh from the incidental music to J.B Priestley's play 'Johnson over Jordan' is no exception...the popular dance movement 'The Spider and the Fly' is a wickedly memorable number...' David J Fanning, Gramophone, April 1992
