  • Composed by Barbara Thompson for The Apollo Saxophone Quartet “Jazz rhythms met minimalism in a lyrical embrace. Motifs and patterns intertwined and chased tails in music instantly attractive, but never vacuous. Allied to the music’s ebullience came the phenomenal skill of the Apollo Four. Thompson’s writing made their fingers scamper off their knuckles in search of new swoops and gurgles, or the silkiest transformation from furnace blast to the softest whisper this side of the Milky Way.”
    Geoff Brown’s review of an April 2003 concert in the London Times
     
  • 10 original compositions by Barbara Thompson for 12-piece saxophone orchestra released 16th July 2012. "The wide spectrum of the compositions shows us the dark side of saxophone sound. The performance of this orchestra is perfect on this CD with highest recording quality. It's more than a milestone!"
  • Composed and arranged by Barbara Thompson and sung by the 100 voice choir Big Sky, this work was commissioned by the Norwich Arts Centre and was recorded live at St. Andrews, Norwich in April 2003.
