Review excerpts

This handsome publication is a very bold venture in today’s uncertain times; an ambitious sixteen movement piano cycle inspired by an eclectic range of paintings, with each of the artworks shown in full colour next to the pieces they inspired.
David Jennings , MusicWeb International (August 2020)
The piano writing is clean and clear with no wasted notes […] this work is full of idiomatic piano writing.
David Jennings , MusicWeb International (August 2020)
The pictures that prompted the music are illustrated within the score itself and add an extra stimulus for the performer.
David Jennings , MusicWeb International (August 2020)
The work shows Higginson’s mastery of a wide range of styles.
David Jennings , MusicWeb International (August 2020)
This movement [Miniature Theme and Variations] adds immeasurably to the richness and variety of the entire work; it shows real confidence to add such an adventurous piece within a cycle that is intended for less experienced pianists.
David Jennings , MusicWeb International (August 2020)
All in all, this is a richly rewarding cycle. The music is resourceful, often moving and never bland; this is a remarkable piece which demands to be commercially recorded at the earliest opportunity.
