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.

Nahoko Gotoh, 7th September

Meisterliches zum Auftakt des Telemannjahres

Jens Klier, 15th January

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

*****

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.

Amours tragiques et moments magiques aux Violons du Roy

Début de saison aux Violons du Roy : Bach au pluriel et à l'imparfait

Emmanuel Bernier, 25th September

Début de saison inégal aux Violons du Roy dans trois magnificats de la famille Bach livrés avec fougue, mais appelant plusieurs réserves en matière interprétative.

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.
