About

Awards and reviews

September 2009

This is an outstanding recital of Bach chamber-music playing in which four concertos (Stradivaria could have fitted in one more, in truth) bask in their own colours with a rare combination of infectious energy, quicksilver alertness among a single-string ensemble and not a hint of the affectedness which has blighted so many performances of these works in recent years. ...nothing can detract from the thoughtfulness, personality and fun which radiate from this wonderful recital.
