'Charivari Agreable's accomplished performances prove that Torelli's music doesn't deserve to remain neglected. The Oxford-based ensemble has a distinctly international make-up, and expertly conjures the appropriate tautness, melancholic depth, athleticism and amiableness of the mosty short movements' (Gramophone)

‘Poised, intelligent and remarkably pure of intonation for a live performance, Janine Jansen's Tchaikovsky certainly knows its own mind. What's truly memorable? From Jansen, the powerful high register and full-toned harmonics of the cadenza; from Daniel Harding and his Mahler Chamber Orchestra, nicely balanced in relation to the soloist, the airborne quality of the Polonaise and the oboe solo in the finale's one reflective sequence’ (BBC Music Magazine)
