Reviews

  • ...a more daring and astringent orchestration than Britten's, but an instantly effective and haunting piece of writing, dominated by the soft resonance of bells.
    Martin Kettle, The Guardian, 15/08/2011
  • Talbot’s take on the harmonically dense Chacony was underpinned by the hypnotic sound of bells, both bowed and struck. It’s a brief but impressive exercise [...] Talbot’s sinewy orchestration propelling the piece to a peroration worthy of Stokowski’s Bach.
    Mark Valencia, classicalsource.com, 15/08/2011
