| 7-Feb-2012 Queen's Hall, Edinburgh | Brandenburg/Cantata Series II: Dunedin Consort at Edinburgh's Queen's Hall |
 Contrasting vocal and instrumental, sacred and secular, the Dunedin Consort's 'Brandenburg/Cantata Series II' featured two of Bach's popular concerti grossi, flanked by a pair of sacred cantatas.
Instrumental contrast distinguished the cantatas as much as the concerti. BWV106, 'Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit' (also known as Actus Tragicus) featured, in its opening Sonatina, lovely recorder writing, tenderly phrased by Pamela Thorby and Catherine Lathan.Read full review... | |
| 22-May-2010 Trinity United Reformed Church | Chiltern Camerata with the Chiltern Consort at the Wycombe Arts Festival |
 This splendid programme rightly attracted a fair sized audience to this fine church on this beautiful evening. Starting with Zadok the Priest, the best known of the four coronation anthems by Handel, the choir, although numbering under 20 voices, produced an initial impact which was to set the tone for the rest of the concert. Their attack, featuring both tonal and dynamic precision, was thrilling and gave the orchestra a wonderful base upon which to add their own contribution. In this, the excellent trumpet playing of Malcolm Knapp and Alison Davidson was worthy of note.
