Bryars: “gently evocative under Micaela Haslam’s direction”
Reich: “… a piece that used to be the exclusive preserve of bespoke ensembles … here, 14 LPO instrumentalists, together with four members of Synergy Vocals, showed that it could become the repertory work it deserves to be. This was a performance of tremendous concentration and sustained energy”
