Reviews

“These multinational musicians, almost all in their early twenties, attacked their assignments with a sparkling gusto hard to retain in later life. They brought off the [Symphonia Domestica] with tremendous colour and bravura.” (The Times, April 2008)

"With boundless dedication strings and winds gave sound and meaning to Bruckner's ingenious score, after which all instrument groups were rightly awarded with bravos and applause."
(NCR Amsterdam, August 2007)
