No 5 - Forbes Best of Classical 2017 List

Jans F Laurson - Forbes - 13 December 2017

Classical CD of the Week

“... With improvised cadenzas and first-rate historically informed performances from the Harmonious Society of Tickle-Fiddle Gentlemen, the spontaneity and quality of this release make it a rare gem and hot candidate for the Best Classical Recordings of 2017.”

Jens F Laurson - Forbes.com - 20 September 2017

***/****

Claudio Bolzan – Musica magazine (Italy) – June 2017

"...These are lithe, athletic performances ... The euphoniously named Harmonious Society of Tickle-Fiddle Gentleman ... play one-to-a-part and clearly have fun in this fairly closely recorded disc. Artistic director Robert Rawson's booklet note is exemplary."

David Threasher - The Strad - April 2017

"...Magnificently named, The Harmonious Society of Tickle-Fiddle Gentlemen play these works with a single player per part with a harpsichord continuo, the selection of instruments including a double bass and following documented practice for the period. The resulting sound is both crisp and attractively full, and with a plethora of premières on this disc there can be no complaints in terms of freshness. If you are looking to expand your experience of 18th century music from an unexplored mid-European source then this is a highly enjoyable place to find such delights."

Dominy Clements - MusicWeb-International.com - 14 March 2017

“...This music certainly brings out good things in the Tickle-Fiddlers, who fully justify their name. There is real joy in the music-making. The ensemble-playing, under the artistic direction of Robert Rawson, is crisp and buoyant. And even the soloists – cellist Kinga Gáborjáni, violinist Rodolfo Richter and harpsichordist David Wright, who contributes a delicate fugue by Bohuslav Matej Cernohorský – wear their virtuosity lightly.”

Hanna Nepil – Gramophone magazine – February 2017

“... These performances of his [Guretzky] concertos are every bit as frisky and fun as the music itself.” ****
