Reviews
'...The enterprising Brook Street Band... the infectious enthusiasm of these all-female virtuosi seems likely to bring them another Classic FM hit.'
'Bags of charm on this disc of transcribed recorder sonatas. Theo's Baroque cello plays mostly high where the tone is dry and appealing.'
'...These performances have a powerful stamp of authority about them... Theo's beautiful sense of line and utterly natural phrasing. Perhaps the most striking thing about these performances is the sense of total unity between both players. These are two musicians coalesced into a single entity, dancing with a wonderful unanimity of purpose... Handel himself would have found real cause for celebration.'
'...a rave review... so convincing are Tatty Theo and Carolyn Gibley's accounts of them... all beautifully balanced... please do enjoy this unusual and unexpected delight!'
'...vivacious and ardent music making... a thoroughly enjoyable and expertly played CD'
'...the playing of the two-person Brook Street Band is expressive and lively... the impact made by this music and its persuasive and technically brilliant advocates here... This CD is recommended... The whole is pleasing, very pleasing'
