Below
are a selection of reviews from the series.
2003: Ewald Brass Quintet from Hungary
’ ..The
Ewald offered a varied selection of styles and showed rare individual
and collective brilliance in their playing.. Daringly exploring
the sonic possibilities of the medium’
Stephen Pettitt/Evening Standard
2002:
Nicolas Koeckert violin and Milana Charnyavska piano from Germany
and Ukraine
’…
fully formed, characterful artistry given with the highly accomplished
pianist Milana Chernyavska proved the theory that you can tell from
the very first minutes whether or not something is going to be any
good... Koeckert has a highly developed sense of style and striking
virtuosity…. Bravo to the Springboard series for spotting
Koeckert’s qualities’ Geoffrey
Norris/ Daily Telegraph
2001:
Igor Tchetuev, piano from Ukraine
’…..The
autumn season of Music at the Wallace Collection was launched with
a recital that summed up all that is best about this enterprising
and civilised series. The young Ukrainian pianist Igor Tchetuev
played with maturity and individuality, readily communicating both
the letter and the spirit of the music His pianism is fully rounded,
his virtuosity tempered by warmth of tone and an understanding of
what it is that give a particular composer’s idiom its character’
