Solo: Richard Stone lute

Chamber: Tempesta di Mare Philadelphia Baroque Orchestra

8-12 JUne 2002

'Stone's playing is agile and confident, his sound round and full. These characteristics are essential to project the instrument's small voice in a concerto. The players of Tempesta di Mare supply a lovely, understated accompaniment that is historically informed but without any ornamental gimmickry.'

American Record Review

'[Richard] Stone has lots of technique and shines in the soloist's role. Even greater, arguably, is his successful realisation of the orchestral parts. It may sound a highly dubious idea, but in fact it is not at all in principle out of order to reconstruct an orchestral score from a soloist's part, because many of the ideas will be transferable, and the basic harmonic and structural design is already present. To these ears, the orchestral writing is entirely convincing and the players tuck into it with gusto and panache, the buzzy string sound and the woody tone of the baroque flute recorded in a spacious and expressive acoustic.'

Classical Guitar Magazine

'Reconstructed scores by Baroque lutenist Richard Stone are serious competition for Vivaldi's Lute Concerto. The lute-flute duets are a rapturous combination of sounds.'

Classic FM Magazine

'The flautist Gwyn Roberts (soloist in two of the concertos for flute with solo lute accompaniment) deserves a special mention, as does Stone himself.'

Gramophone

'Clearly a lot of work has gone into the reconstructions and they not only convince, they delight.
