Testimonials

‘This disc is the first by the Welsh Chamber Orchestra: established in 1986, they leave a very positive impression under their founder and principal conductor, Anthony Hose. Both recording and presentation leave nothing to be desired. A very likeable release.’ – Gramophone

‘I loved the variety of music, and it was a real treat to be able to listen to a great orchestra in Haverfordwest’ – Angharad, Haverfordwest

‘WCO played a mix of familiar and unfamiliar music with depth of virtuosity and proffessionalism’ – William, Llanelli

‘Under its founder Anthony Hose, the Welsh Chamber Orchestra plays with spirit in the Blake cycle, provides excellent support to the brilliant David Pyatt in the 1984 Horn Concerto, which is (presumably coincidentally) permeated by Shostakovich’s D-S-C-H motto, and gives a strongly characterised account of the 1990 Threnos, a surprisingly varied elegy for strings.’ – BBC Music Magazine

‘I especially enjoyed the balance of the programme. Loved the contemporary piece’ – Alex, Welshpool
