Reviews
'... a superb combination of sheer dynamic slam and weight, coupled with speed and fluidity.'
Gramophone (High Fidelity)
'The appeal of the record lies in a Three-Cornered Hat as lively as the light, full of character, where the musicians loosen their muscles and sharpen their rhythms.'
Classica
'There's some beautifully detailed playing, with ravishing strings in the Seguidillas and majestic flamenco turns at the start of the Miller's Farruca, while the brass are gleamingly assertive throughout.'
