Meisterliches zum Auftakt des Telemannjahres

Das war Kammermusik at its best. Trotz und gerade wegen tückischer solistischer Besetzung höchstes Lob für treffenste Unterhaltung.

*****

Highly-charged performances of the Brandenburgs from Arcangelo

Christopher Woodley, 1st November

Arcangelo's dazzling creativity, superbly marshalled by the charismatic Jonathan Cohen, gives a gold medal performance of all six Brandenburg Concertos to launch the London Festival of Baroque Music.

Prom 74: Intimacy and reflection in Handel's Theodora

Nahoko Gotoh, 7th September

Magnificent Magnificats from Arcangelo

Roderic Dunnett, 1st October

Five star reviews are flowing Arcangelo’s way. It’s easy to see why. Five years after it was founded by Jonathan Cohen, the quality of this zestful ensemble just keeps soaring.

Der vielseitige Dramatiker in c-Moll: Beethoven Pur in Bonn

Jens Klier, 31st January

Trio (samt Zimmermannscher Unterstützung) und Quartett schlossen beinahe nahtlos an die gebannte Bewunderung des Vorabends an.

Der Komiker und Überrascher: Beethoven Pur bei der BTHVN Woche Bonn

Jens Klier, 30th January

Schreiber, Cohen, Bezuidenhout und das Chiaroscuro Quartet brillieren mit Beethovens kammermusikalischen Schenkelklopfern und rücken sein Bild fulminant zurecht.

Dominic Lowe

Dominic Lowe recently completed a degree in Classics, and one of his great interests is the reception of Greece and Rome in opera. A regular opera-goer since his very early teens, he is particularly keen on the hidden operatic gems of the 19th century. He is largely based in the South of England.
