“Sheer joy” ★★★★★
“The inspiration seems to flow seamlessly, or so the Minervas presented it…there was so much bottled sunshine, too, in the Pulcinella selection, brilliantly shared between the three artists, with a focus on the trio of singers Stravinsky engages in his complete ballet. Virtuosic anger, too, in two explosions of quick-fire rage. But the final reiteration of happiness could not have been more emphatic.”
David Nice, The Arts Desk (Nov 2021)
