Reviews for ‘Jommelli – A Celebration’
“The concert was a triumph…A miraculous evening, one that will not be forgotten for a long time. Page’s enthusiasm for Jommelli translates into musical gold. Let’s hope for more full operas” CLASSICAL EXPLORER
“Celebrating the 250th anniversary of Jommelli’s death with an evening of his fascinating and unjustly neglected music in killer performances from a trio of soloists that combined virtuoso dazzle with emotional commitment and great style… Hearteningly the hall was full. Few people, I suspect, had heard much music by Jommelli and I do hope that the evening whetted people’s appetites. What was striking was the way all three soloists went well beyond virtuoso bravura to find the real drama in this music, aided, abetted and partnered by the superb playing of the Mozartists under Ian Page’s deft direction. This was an evening given with love.” PLANET HUGILL
“In this fine evening, the large audience at Wigmore were given an introduction to Italian composer Niccolò Jommelli (1714-1774)…. Good on brilliant conductor Ian Page, who is always splendid, for bringing this treasure chest of a programme to our ears…Each piece was such a treat you’d almost call it sinful….The Mozartists’ future events are already popped down in my diary. They are a must when in London.” GET THE CHANCE
