Review By Ivan Hewett,BBC Music Magazine,June 2013

Written on Skin show Benjamin’s imagination for sonorities and subtle harmonic shading is as keen as ever, but what’s new is the amplitude of feeling © BBC Music Magazine

Review By Mark Sealey,MusicWeb International,May 2013

The singing styles, the orchestral textures and colours, the pace, the dramatic focus, all vary in exact concord with the story and its important (underlying) ideas and ideals. Benjamin truly shows himself an expert at this, binding himself to a contemporary idiom which is both approachable and upliftingly unique.

The music is beautiful and central in style and theme to the worlds to which it makes such a valuable contribution. Unsurprisingly the performances are clear, clean and persuasive. © 2013 MusicWeb International Read complete review
