Review Centre: String Quartets

"Dear Anne, I thought the orchestra was great, especially the strings. Overall they sounded great and there have been many many positive comments!  It is is a really complex work and there were some wonderful moments. Your violin solo was wonderful and during that whole section the orchestra really captured the mood.  The Prelude was everything that I wanted it to be and the big moments were absolutely thrilling.  The orchestra was great to work with and sounded great. The sonority of Elgar's full orchestration was self-evident. The best range of dynamics I have experienced from them - ever! It is so good to welcome a lot of the same players back over and over again.  Please thank the players for me! "

"Excellent communication prior to the wedding and helped us to choose our music. Very punctual on the day and they played our music so beautifully. Having the quintet added fantastic live music to the occasion. I would wholeheartedly recommend these musicians to anyone wanting live music. "

"Just a quick note to say thank you to you and your colleagues for providing the beautiful string music for our wedding. The song choices for the ceremony worked so well and were played perfectly, and certainly added to what was already a very emotional room full of people! I wish I had heard more of the music but unfortunately I was outside welcoming guests for a large part, but the comments from our guests were very positive. We will certainly recommend you to friends and family. Thanks again."

"Thank you so much for coming to play with 'Sounds Interesting' for our 'Sotto il maestro' concert in Ludlow on Saturday. You did a wonderful job in very uncomfortable conditions and I really appreciated your professionalism, skill and goodwill. I particularly enjoyed the spirited accompaniment of the Schubert Mass which really captured the joyful character of this work. Joan Palmer was moved to tears by the performance of 'Upon Clee Hill' so thank you for making her 80th birthday a special occasion. All the best for your forthcoming performances and I hope we can work together again soon.

"It was a pleasure having Liz and her fellow musicians at our wedding in August 2023 - I had asked for a mix of Bollywood and Bridgerton vibes and they truly delivered! I went on to rebook the trio for my brother’s wedding the following year - would recommend!"

"Trio Capriccio played at our wedding last September and we couldn’t recommend them enough! We really wanted something different to the usual quartet groups often played at weddings and Trio Capriccio didn’t disappoint. Such a beautiful sound to walk down the aisle to. The group were also beyond accommodating when we brought our wedding forward with 4 days notice due to covid restrictions and didn’t complain when I sent over a list of preferred songs just the afternoon before! They were clearly already well rehearsed and couldn’t have been more accommodating! They have a huge repertoire so were able to cater for traditional wedding songs, hymns and pop songs which made the whole service really individual to us. Thank you so much! We wish we could do it all again."

"“From the moment we booked Element Strings to our wedding day, we received excellent communication from Caroline, which made the whole process very easy and stress free. It was great to be able to view Element Strings repertoire online and we loved that they have the capability to play a real mix of music. We had both classical and pop/rock music for our wedding and the team were able to accommodate any special requests that we had. The team were friendly, professional and extremely talented. We had many comments from guests saying how much they loved Elements Strings and what a perfect addition they were for our wedding day. Myself and my husband cannot recommend them enough!”."

"Dear Anne, Just a brief note to congratulate you on leading and assembling a really great ensemble for tonight. From the organ bench I could hear the detail and also, remarkably considering they were facing away from me, the solos with great clarity, the sign of a sympathetic orchestra. All the best, David"

"Wow wow wow - what a talented pair of musicians. Both my wife & I are so glad we chose you to play at both the church and the reception for our wedding. I really can't praise you both enough. You really did make our day that extra special, and so many of our friends and family agreed. The only bit I was disappointed with was that we didn't book you to play in the garden longer as time just flew by and we could have listened to you play all day. Thank you so much guys x "

"Fantastic bunch of musicians. We booked them for our wedding which set the scene perfectly. Very happy with all aspects of the booking from initial contact to the day itself can't recommend enough."
