"The Scherzo of Ravel’s F major Quartet is jaw droppingly brilliant – a testament to the ensemble’s sensational embouchure – and almost convinces that the music was conceived for brass. […] Warmly recommended." - Gramophone (prestigious London magazine)
"An attractive recital with each of four gems in this repertoire being polished to a glittering sparkle. […] All are highly creative re-arrangements; wholly satisfying both structurally and expressively". - WholeNote
"A first-class brass quintet, with a likeable flair for humour and for pleasing a crowd without uttering a word." - Three Weeks Edinburgh newspaper
