“Thomas Wilson’s operas are unjustly neglected works by Scotland’s finest composer bar none.” “Such is the power of the ‘Sinner’ that one is bowled over and consequently unable to apply objective criticism.” Malcolm Rayment.

“The broadcast left no doubt that this is a major contribution to operatic literature. Wilson’s touch is everywhere assured – and never more so that in the extraordinary passage that accompanies the murder.”
