“… As expected, the performances are very professional. Olivier Stankiewicz and Timothy Jones are terrific in the oboe and horn concertos; clear timbres, exquisite phrasing, impeccable technique, and smooth presence. Marriner is good in the clarinet concerto … The ensemble selections are finely sculpted textbook renditions with many beautiful moments…”

**** Excellent Album

“… Martín ensures the accompaniments never fall back upon routine in the vivid acoustic of the LSO’s Hawksmoor home… the persuasiveness of the musicianship on display throughout is its own recommendation.”

Timothy Jones opens the programme on the first disc with a beautifully poised performance of Mozart’s Horn Concerto No. 2 in E flat major K417. His playing is effortless with an unforced virtuosity especially evident in the final Rondo movement… Oboist Olivier Stankiewicz gives a delightful account of this work [Oboe Concerto in C major K314], it’s perkiness enhanced by the bright tone of his instrument… The orchestral accompaniment in these three concertos from Jaime Martin is sympathetic and alert… the soloists here (Juliana Koch - oboe, Chris Richards - clarinet, Rachel Gough - bassoon, Timothy Jones - horn) relish to the full the a hugely enjoyable package wonderful writing for their instruments in this scintillating piece[Serenade No. 10 ‘Gran Partita’… a hugely enjoyable package …”
