- Sanguis Venenatus ('Tainted Blood') / Elegy for Strings
The second part began with March's Elegy 'Sanguis Venenatus' (Tainted
Blood), his first-hand musical metaphor for thousands of haemophiliacs
given contaminated blood. This one-movement composition reflects well a
myriad of emotions through gradual and ever-changing harmonies within a
dynamic arch. The mix of simple and complex textures created a sense of
relentless endeavour and inevitable submission, reflective of the composer's
inspiring image of a small bird seized by a buzzard. This was descriptively
and ably performed by the orchestral strings alone.

- Nymphéas for 2 Pianos (2001) Peter & Patrik Jablonski
A review by Bengt Hultman translated from "Vösterbottens-Kuriren":
....The première of Andrew March's Nymphéas, a piece especially written for the
duo, felt strongly influenced by French impressionism. Dark sounds incorporated
in a thorough pattern created an expressive musical piece which has been greeted
with an enthusiasm by the entire audience....
