"This was music-making of the highest order, with world-class attention to detail and spot-on period authenticity." The Daily Review
Reviews for Blazing Baroque:
"Dyer’s choice of repertoire for ‘Blazing Baroque’ is clearly anchored to two defining qualities: excitement and virtuosity. Both were in plentiful supply in the evening’s roster of soloists, led by violinist Shaun Lee-Chen."
"Under Dyer’s energetic direction from the harpsichord the ensemble was tight and on top form..."
"Combining harmony with beauty the splendid musicians of the ABO exploited musical melody to deliver a powerful performance that was both brilliantly entertaining and blazing-ly sublime."
"...the sheer joie de vivre of the performance was a reminder that the skill and practice entailed in the production of this fulsome, glorious sound is beyond imagining"
"...bringing a fresh mind to the music. The racy clatter... the juicy textures and crunchy harmonies... pomp and thunder… And we’re there with them, listening avidly."
"The Australian Brandenburg Orchestra’s Blazing Baroque concert at the Melbourne Recital Centre provided a winning combination of the old and new."
"The duet work of flautist Melissa Farrow and Michaela Oberg’s recorder in Telemann’s E minor double concerto provided this concert’s high point,"
"Under the dynamic, bouncy direction of Paul Dyer the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra was in magnificent form and sizzled in this electrifying concert."
