Awards and reviews

June 2006

…a grandiose performance - all repeats observed; not bombastic or posturing but eager (in Egarr's words) 'to let this music sing and to keep the music free from rigidity and haste'. Most impressive is the way Egarr conveys the sensation of an edifice being re-created through the building blocks of interconnecting tissue.
