03 Quartet 2 - III

'for Joyance'

"A deliciously singing tone...assured deft handling of the oboes range range from extreme heights to beautifully rounded low notes."

                                                                                                                  Australian Double Reed Society

"Baigent captures the musical character of Boughton's music perfectly, playing with a beautiful sound and many insightful nuances"

                                                                                                                                                 George Caird

'The profound, the sublime....and the frivolous'

41 Lully, Cadmus & Hermione_ Chaconne.m4

"... a disc that offers real intimacy and insight. 

"These players .. seem to be playing as much for each other's pleasure as for ours."

                                                                                         Simon Heighes, International Record Review

"Mark Baigent's oboe playing is declamatory and soothing by turns, and Nathaniel Harrison's baroque bassoon makes the kind of sounds you'd like to bottle up and save for a rainy day."

                                                              Graham Rickson, The Arts Desk
