Intérprete: Iona Brown

An affectionate Trout played by long-standing colleagues and friends from Royal Northern Sinfonia, along with Imogen Holst's Phantasy Quartet and Thomas Adès's fascinating Piano Quintet. 

The best Brahms chamber music our reviewer's ever heard from Royal Northern Sinfonia, plus a Sibelius quartet that needs to be be heard more.

On Thursday night, I reviewed the vast forces of National Youth Orchestra, playing big colourful works by European exiles in 1930s America.
