'The Phesant's Eye' - Scottish Baroque in Scotland!

Ensemble Hesperi are delighted to have received a full-length review of their Scottish Baroque programme, which they performed for the first time on 17th November at St Andrews Cathedral, Aberdeen, as part of the Aberdeen Lunchbreak Concert Series.

​

"Mary-Jannet Leith's playing on several different recorders not only had astonishing ease and fluency; it disclosed such depth and breadth of rhythm, phrasing, dynamics and instrumental colour that made every piece played by the Duo come across as a masterpiece, aided by Thomas Allery’s delicate precision harpsichord playing throughout the performance."

"Both performers gave a stunningly exciting performance [of Corelli's "La Follia'] with the harpsichord almost seeming to catch fire near the end. This was music at its most thrilling but in fact that was true of the entire performance."
