The Times, February 2010

‘Excellent… performed with vigour and authority by the Royal Academy of Music students’
Sunday Times, February 2008

‘This is an ensemble [Royal Academy Soloists] which plays with the attention to detail one would expect from a string quartet, and the character and unanimity of its performances were a constant joy’
The Strad, September 2009

‘The capacity audience enjoyed sparkling period performances of late and middle period Cantatas… rapturously received… it was a worthy launch of a superb new concert series which has already become a highlight of London’s musical calendar. My advice: book early!’
Arietta, journal of the Beethoven Piano Society of Europe, Spring 2010
