Press Quotes

‘I must say I really enjoyed it… I have a lot of respect for this orchestra… this orchestra has done an amazing job… they sounded very well-rehearsed… it’s played incredibly well, very exciting… it’s really worth listening to…’  (BBC Radio 3, ‘Record Review’)

‘Everyone knows that Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) was a colorful and masterful orchestrator, and this animated work well displays an orchestra’s sound and expressive command, all qualities delivered with clout in this impressive performance’  (Classical Music Sentinel)
