Reviews and comments:
‘Performances that boast playing as warm in tone as they are serious in approach... a Haydn album to savour. There is a distinct lack of routine in all these performances, the small band of musicians acquitting themselves very creditably indeed. So does producer/engineer Robin Bigwood.’
‘The debut album from Sinfonia Classica is top-drawer stuff... The textures can be surprisingly sparse, even for Haydn, which calls for expert engineers. There's no danger on that score - you know that the microphones are up to scratch when you can hear the orchestra breathing in unison between the notes. Everything is perfectly blended too, each section of the orchestra sounding as though it occupies a distinct part of the room, but always naturally spaced. The sound is pure and clean and can cope easily with a fully motivated orchestra as well as some of Haydn's more delicate moments. Everything these players do serves the composer; there are no wild speeds or hysterical climaxes, only dedicated and energetic affection.’
