TURINA x TURINA | HÄNSSLER | listen

From start to finish the wind playing of each work is out of the top-drawer. Especially noticeable is the level of commitment and immediacy given to these scores with playing of considerable style that produces warm and vivid tone colours. MusicWeb International | Michael Cookson | November 2018

Reviews

If the sound was one pole of the high quality, the flawless intonation between the different instruments was the other, turning the evening into a celebration of chamber music. The fact that oboist Maria Carmona Tobella scraped together all her knowledge of German between the pieces and tried to convey her exuberant enthusiasm for the music with short introductions to the works was not only a charming gesture, but also testament to her burning passion for her own cause. This is how it should be and nothing else!
