“This CD selection of Smyth’s songs is a delight. The CD has something for the listening public at large for it reveals the less familiar youthful and intimate sides of Ethel Smyth; she was not all ‘let their be banners and music’.   Smyth’s most famous composition ‘The March of the Women’ is the final track in a particularly charming solo voice interpretation. The richness of Smyth’s creative life and her seriousness as a composer come across in this recording, beautifully sung and played by Lucy Stevens and Elizabeth Marcus.  Whether bought as a souvenir of the ‘Grasp the Nettle’ production or not, it is a delightful conspectus of Smyth song ranging from her German student days to the songs of her maturity, settings of English texts, some with suffragette connections.”  Jory Bennett
