Recent concert reviews:
"Bach’s Concerto for Two Violins, in a flawless, inspired and lively rendition was the concert’s crowning glory."
Ury Eppstein, Jerusalem Post, 2/2/2011 Mostly Italian and French Baroque (Harmony of Tastes)
"The humor was expressed discreetly by singers Revital Raviv and Yair Polishook. Reviv’s bright, somewhat thin and girlish soprano contributed captivating cuteness and irresistible charm, making one identify with Polishook’s flirtatious approaches. Polishook displayed an appealing, friendly baritone, well calculated to win Reviv’s sympathy.
... Pontecorvo’s caressing sound and Shemer’s authoritative playing"
Ury Eppstein, Jerusalem Post, 30/12/2010 JBO Performs Bach and Telemann (Peasant in the Palace)
"an excellent performance on the part of local and guest artists alike. Conductor Andrew Parrott – without a baton, which added much to the subtlety of nuances – created a perfectly balanced orchestral and choral rendition, brisk, with incisive articulation and energetic tempi that captivated the audience from beginning to end."
