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.
