Awards and reviews
August 2012
[the performance] has a luminous and gently penetrating emotional impact (with one of the most moving accounts of 'Es ist vollbracht' in recent years from Meg Bragle). The instruments are discreet and yet integral, and the quality of the production adds up to a very significant, incrementally impressive new reading.
