Press Reviews

Collectors Reviews

"...the Clarinet Concerto...is an exuberant tribute to Boulez's seminal Domaines in the way it moves the soloist around in dialogue with various well-contrasted instrumental groups. This performance will leave you breathless with admiration, not only for Carter's inventiveness but also for the brilliance with which the score is realized by these dedicated artists."

Gramophone

"This performance will leave you breathless with admiration, not only for Carter's inventiveness but also for the brilliance with which the score is realised by these dedicated artists."

Gramophone

"It [the Symphonia] is an astonishing piece, because the more you get to know it, the more integrated and inevitable the whole work seems. I think you need Carter's level of experience to be able to think on that time-scale, without losing concentration of musical argument. The Clarinet Concerto is very theatrical and almost light relief in comparison - except for the soloist, that is!"
