'Payne has caught the composer's instantly recognisable orchestral palette to perfection' BBC Music Magazine
'Payne's work is excellent. He has captured the essence and spirit of Elgar extremely well: you recognize all the Elgarian harmonies, density of textures, dynamics, rhythmic patterns, turns of phrase, and orchestrations'
