THE QUILTER CHEVIOT BENEDETTI CONCERT
★★★★★ - The Herald
"...there was an intimacy to the performance that came with a beautifully spacious sound in which individuals were as distinct as the ensemble and soloist was balanced."
(available to watch online until 24 Dec)
CLYNE & BRITTEN
★★★★★ - Bachtrack
"Frank-Gemmill played the Prologue in a softly spotlit circle, Britten’s strange notes left deliberately in an almost in-tune fuzz, drawing us into the uncertainties of a dream-like world."
(available to watch online until 25 Feb)
SCHUBERT & TCHAIKOVSKY
★★★★★ - The Arts Desk
"Emelyanychev took every movement at a real lick, but without losing detail in the playing. The violins were sparkling throughout, the basses pert and the flutes lively..."
(available to watch online until 9 Mar)
BACEWICZ, BACH & BEETHOVEN
"The chorale prelude “Vor deinen Thron tret’ich hiermit"... was a heavenly way to bring such a sublime musical offering to a close."
