In the press about the performance of ‘To Saint Cecilia’

“A gloriously lengthy evening. [...] Minkowski’s Purcell, though never less than exquisitely beautiful […] It would be hard to imagine the Handel better done.”
Tim Ashley ,The Guardian, 22 January 09

“Indeed, the whole evening cast a spell […] Each work highlighted different instrumental stars – oboist/recorder players in Purcell, a cellist and a flautist in Handel – while the ensemble as a whole generated a wonderfully warm and vibrant sound. And what a discovery the Haydn was. Why is it so seldom performed?”
Michael Church, The Independent, 19 January 09

“How wonderful sounded the period intruments under the controlled and burning Minkowski’s conducting!”
Karl Harb, Salzburger Nachrichten
