Pamela Hickman on Pygmalion, 25 May 2011:
Intense, yet spontaneous in character, the JBO’s performance of the symphony spoke of energy and joy, of rich orchestral color and vitality. Bernardini and his players let their hair down, taking on board the adventurous, innovative and individual character of this music. The audience was thrilled.
The Jerusalem Baroque Orchestra’s 2010-2011 season, now ended, was one of highlights, much interest and fine performance.
Pamela Hickman on Harmony of Tastes, 1 Feb 2011 :
Led by Maggie Faultless, with Maestro David Shemer at the harpsichord, the JBO’s ensemble sound throughout the evening was integrated and flexible, dynamic, spontaneous and nuanced, expressing, defining and joining styles in a harmony of good taste.
