Fand Catalogue

	Thompson’s Cello Sonatina is in three short movements … It is a tonal and dreamily accessible piece … It does not lack for drama: its exciting Allegro feroce finale is notable for its brusque and virile attack contrasted with glittering piano pages. The moods portrayed and established throughout are mature. The composer shows no hankering after rhetorical convention to close each of the three movements. You will leave this part of the disc wanting to hear more.
	—Rob Barnett, MusicWeb International (August 2016)
