Awards and reviews
December 2019
On this evidence, Haydn’s brand of roguish inventiveness materialised early…The recording finds a natural-sounding perspective for two very different kinds of sonority: the interaction of organ and strings works well, as they both do in relation to Sophie Gent’s violin-playing.
Awards Issue 2019
These cheery works are Haydn’s earliest concertos…Iain Quinn is both spirited and elegant, and nicely matches Sophie Gent’s clean, direct style in the F major Concerto…These are thoroughly enjoyable, glowingly recorded performances of music that offers limited scope for ‘interpretation’.

Already his innovative style marks him out as a singular genius, and Quinn’s urbane performances of the C and D major solo concertos, joined by Gent in the F major double concerto, are stylishly accompanied by Cohen’s period band.
