Reviews of Viola Aotearoa:

"The excellent violist in all works is Timothy Deighton -- ex New Zealand Symphony Orchestra violist and now viola professor at Penn State University -- the locale of these recordings.  This finely recorded CD offers much more than you may expect.  Recommended."
           Ian Dando (Christchurch Star) July 2002

All of the works receive expertly-played and vividly-characterised performances, beautifully caught throughout by the Atoll recording."
           Peter Mechen (Musical Tapestries) August 2002

"The dizzying swoops and driving rhythms of Martin Lodge's Pacific Rock set the standard of virtuosity required and Deighton is more than up to the challenge."
          William Dart (New Zealand Listener) July 2002 "On Track"

"The CD is a full 66.39 minutes of electrifying viola music, played with passion and great feeling by one of New Zealand's finest "ex-pat" violists, Timothy Deighton...There is something for every listener to enjoy on this CD."
           Michael Vidulich (Australian and New Zealand Viola Society Journal) 15 December 2002

Selected as one of the Top 10 Classical CDs of the Year.
          Ian Dando (New Zealand Listener) 28 December 2002.
