Review Centre: Pianists (Classical)

"What playing! Here was technical virtuosity and musical colour illustrating the diversity of mood which these unusual pictures inspired. This brought to a dramatic conclusion a superb recital that was rich in diversity, enabling us to glimpse the variety of interpretative skills which John possesses. We hope to hear him again very soon."

"Caroline's performance was the high point of our Schubertiad. She gave a fiercely intelligent and delicately beautiful interpretation of 5 impromptus and her account of the Sonata in A minor was masterly and elegant. I have worked with her on several occasions and found her to be thoroughly competent and reliable. Her personality is extremely agreeable and she quickly forms a rapport with her audiences who respond with warmth and appreciation."

"Sarah Green provided the music at our wedding ceremony and at our drinks reception. Sarah was really helpful in suggesting music but also really flexible for our needs. She even played our more obscure choices. Her music was played beautifully and really added to the atmosphere of our day. Our guests loved the mix of classical, pop, disney and also a bit of rock - we also loved it. Sarah was very professional and supported our day perfectly- i would definitely recommend! "

"We had Nigel for our Wedding Ceremony and Wedding Breakfast (At Woughton House Hotel). I have to say the range of music played was fantastic with a number of our guests commenting on how amazing the music was. I would fully recommend Nigel and one of our guests even asked for his business card despite not even being engaged yet which shows how brilliant his service was."

""The Simon Quartet delighted a capacity audience at the first of our concerts at Lost Gardens of Heligan in January 2017. Mixing excellent originals by pianist Simon and saxophonist/flautist Sarah with a few well known standards - the quartet demonstrated their remarkable individual skills with a rock solid unity of purpose. Percussionist Keith and bassist James, a formidable rhythm section, also shone on some inventive solos. The SQ is certainly at the forefront of contemporary jazz ensembles in Cornwall, offering a special evening of accessible and rewarding jazz.""

"Sebastian directed a group of four singers and a trumpeter for my daughter's wedding, as well as playing the organ. He could not have delivered a better recital for the occasion, indeed his musical contribution was a real highlight for our 200 guests. He invited a group of first class musicians to join him and every thing was performed to the highest standard. Highlights were the bridal entry to the church to Trumpet Voluntary in D, by John Stanley and the finale procession to Wider's Toccata. The anthems were also wonderful, with a superb female vocalist taking the lead for Goodall's The Lord is my Shepherd and Mozart's Ave Verum Corpus. We cannot thank Sebastian enough for the part he played in a very special family day. He was a pleasure to work with and delivered the most perfect performance."

"We wanted to thank you so much for playing at our wedding. Everybody thought that you were brilliant and that your involvement was an amazing touch especially out by the lake, it was perfect. Many described it as the 'icing on the cake' and, if you saw the cake, that is some compliment! Your contribution was so special I would recommend you to anyone. Thank you. "

"I stumbled across Glen whilst looking for entertainment for a French themed evening I was hosting at my bistro last month. From the minute I made contact with Glen I knew he was the man for the job and boy did he blow us away with his talent. I would recommend Glen to any one looking for that special professional accompaniment to an event. "

"Bradley played brilliantly at my birthday reception and during dinner. He was organised, reliable, flexible, chatted to the guests and played a mixed repertoire of pop and jazz. The music made the evening."

"Elliot was fantastic! He is a great musician with a lovely voice, who does not "just" replay known songs but gives them his own touch (we found a few of his versions were better than the original ones!). Not only that, he was very easygoing and flexible on the day and extremely patient and understanding with the children (that can't have been easy!). We can only say a big thank you for contributing to make our event a success. "

"Our Wedding was at Kilworth House Hotel - Nigel played for us during the wedding service, drinks reception and wedding breakfast. We are happy that we decided to have him for the whole time. Nigel was absolutely brilliant, taking into account our requests and also performing his own chosen pieces - he made our wedding all the more special. Thank you so much Nigel :) Jin and Steve Xx"
