This is the first disc solely dedicated to the music of Elena Langer and it offers and exquisitely performed showcase of her vocal-chamber works … here the human voice is also centre-stage in music of crystalline, bright purity … the refined voices of Anna Dennis and William Towers intertwine with moving lyricism … Dennis inhabits every corner of the lamenting, lovesick Ariadne in her thorny, freewheeling monologue… 
I’ve been absolutely mesmerised by this harmonia mundi disc, Landscape for Three People, because she [Langer] is a natural dramatist to her fingertips; everything she touches it just tingles with storytelling … it’s got a lovely texture because of those baroque resources … I feel the spirit of Britten is there… I really love the quality of the voices here, it’s beautifully performed, there’s such poise there and there’s a steel core to Anna Dennis’ soprano and then something much more open and plangent to William Towers, so it makes luminescence I think in the sound … I found it lingers in the memory this song cycle. 
It’s nimble and light, sensual without forcing the point, folksy but not quite fey; whimsical, in the deconstructed manner of Berio or Nono. [...] The performance is excellent — especially from Dennis, whose voice is beautifully grainy but still laced with metal.
