Awards and reviews
February 2019
Despite some slightly weak cello playing, these suites rearranged for a five-personal cello ensemble, analogue synthesizers and solo cello create a magnificent soundworld and the voicing of the multi-layering is effective and enveloping.
February 2019
There’s plenty of invention on display, ranging from Steve Reich-like phase patterns un the Allemande of the First to more Brian Eno-like ambient soundscapes in many of the Sarabande movements…Some will no doubt point to the ever-resourceful and infinitely recyclable potential of Bach’s own music as the recipe for this project’s success but that shouldn’t take away from Gregson’s won very important contribution as its principal performer and recomposer.
