“John Hardy’s The Waltz is Over… is a gem of a piece with a fascinating provenance… Hardy, with his usual perception, has taken the music far further than the novelty of that connection [with Tolstoy]… [there is] an intimate, reflective atmosphere, the poems beautifully articulated and the instrumental writing both supporting and eloquently amplifying the words.”
Rian Evans, Western Mail.
The Waltz is Over... is a song cycle commissioned for the Vale of Glamorgan Festival, repeated soon after in St David’s Hall, Cardiff.
