| Jean-Efflam Bavouzet |
'A beautifully ethereal rendition of Debussy's Syrinx ... performed off stage with warm-toned delicacy by Adam Walker'.
'Bavouzet delivered a warmth of tone, matched by depth and richness from Hunt'.
Sancan:
'Bavouzet clearly enjoyed Walker's prowess in the cadenza, as well as visibly getting into the rhythmic energy for the gallop that followed'.
Poulenc:
'Harman and Daniel gloriously blended .... Bavouzet was a lively presence, alert to the wind players' every moves, and clearly enjoying himself throughout'.
Magnard:
'Walker's playfulness was matched by raucous humour from Hunt, but Bavouzet and Daniel had the most fun here, with Bavouzet's rocking cross-rhythms fighting against Daniel's twisting, eastern-infused melodic line to Bavouzet's obvious delight'.
'Five exceptional musicians, clearly enjoying every minute of their music-making as much as the audience'.
