"This fun collection could only come from Hess. The orchestra is his own creation, and there is a superbly "cricket" Britishness about his style that infuses most of the pieces. Global Variations spins the planet faster than Fogg or Palin, bracketed by journey's start and end beneath the chimes of Big Ben! The album's title track is a premiere recording that explores the ensemble's capabilities, ranging from dark moods to lightning bursts of cheer, and each of his famous TV Detectives (Dangerfield, Campion, Wycliffe, Maigret and Hetty Wainthropp) get a moment in the sun too. The recording has the feel of a concert hall setting, and makes for a most entertaining tour of Hess's wind-blown world." Paul Tonks, Amazon
