Classical Music March 2018

A bright, fresh, historically-informed approach to the opening of the Sinfonia concertante sets out the performance’s stall: detailed, stylish readings that glow with the joy of the very act of music-making. Interactions in the central movement are the essence of chamber music before the pure joy of the finale is projected in all its glory.
