Melbourne Baroque Orchestra Chamber Players: Review, March 2019
“Wesley of Warragul’s Simply Music concert season 2019 commenced last month with a simply superb program and performance by [chamber players of] the Melbourne Baroque Orchestra….. The excellence of the performance ...[lay in] the intimacy of the interaction between all the players, and the perfect integration of [the] parts.”
Of Craig Hill’s playing, John writes: “Craig Hill has been a pioneering exponent of period instrument performance in Australia. It was a privilege to hear his exquisite playing of such lovely music which exemplifies Mozart’s particular love of the clarinet, as well as his supreme musical genius.”
