Recording of the Week: 'This is a performance of Serse that reveals new delights on each subsequent listening.'
Europadisc
'The piano decisively changes the sound. Kirchner ingeniously transfers the orchestral character of the sextet to the more chamber-music instrumentation. The Greenwich Trio has a wonderful balance.'
Fono Forum
'The Greenwich Trio do a splendid job ... these fine performances deserve repeated listening. '
BBC Music Magazine
‘Under the direction of Kellen Gray the Scottish orchestra delivers a fine performance.’
Luister
'Three hours of Handelian bliss ... Handel’s music is wonderfully virile and dramatic. So are the performances from director Harry Bicket’s English Concert and the excellent soloists ...'
The Times
'First of all, what a sound! It grips you, envelops you, like a finely woven cashmere stole. The warm, deeply organic, human grain of the gut string lends incredible colour, intimacy and softness to the sound.'
Classica
'Armenian mothers will be delighted with this gift from Eva Zaïcik. As for us, let's savour the treasures she reveals to us.'
Opéra Magazine
'The musical journey is compelling.'
