Performance *** Recording ****

"... Bridget Cunningham's re-imaging of the first part of a typical evening's entertainment puts George Frideric centrestage, and sets the scene delectably with the flirtatious bustle of the Sinfonia to Acis and Galatea..."

Paul Riley - BBC Music magazine - October 2016

"An enjoyable and well-thought-out idea for a disc."

Early Music Review - May 2016

"This is light entertainment, most decorously sung and played by London Early Opera, conducted by Bridget Cunningham."

Financial Times - May 2016

"A perfectly sensible and enjoyable approach to imagining what a typical night at Vauxhall might have sounded like. There is a charming ebb and flow to this hypothetical entertainment."

Gramophone - April 2016

"The highlights include a sprightly organ concerto (Op.4 No.2 with Daniel Moult), the gloriously lugubrious Dead March from Saul, and vocal items that range from slightly yokelish to sophisticatedly pastoral."

The Irish Times - April 2016

"A pleasant listen all round."

The Scotsman - March 2016

"... an attractive potpourri...bright, lively sound."

The Observer - April 2016

"...fine entertainment..."

BBC Radio 3 Record Review, March 2016

"... Daniel Moult at the organ, whose improvisation in the style of John Worgan and Handel is highly impressive. MacDougall comes across particularly convincingly as a 'Vauxhall Gardens' singer..."

Catherine Groom - Early Music Today - June-August 2016
