★★★
Watkins:
'Moments of real beauty here, and this is definitely a work that would merit a second hearing in a more favourable acoustic'.
'It certainly exploited Paul Watkins’ consistently warm tone well, and this was an engaging performance of a promising addition to the concerto repertoire'.
Webern:
'A taught and arresting performance'.
Brahms:
'Fine playing from the BBCNOW, with sweet string tone and incisive woodwind playing throughout'.
'An unexpectedly controlled affair'...(with)...'little space for indulgence'.
