Festival Concert ‘a tour de force’! 
Herts Advertiser

”I can’t think of a performance I have heard in the past where the opening movement, Mars, the Bringer of War, sounded so powerful or where the final movement, Neptune, the Mystic, with its choir of female voices fading into the distance had such a stunning effect.” 
Herts Advertiser

“I was most impressed with Bjorn Bantock leading the pack on Friday evening.
He had a wonderful sense of balance between orchestra and singers. He also gave good attention to terrace dynamics and clear string articulations.”

with its splendid opening attack and polished, vivid interpretation.”
