Collection: Exposure

A mixed bag played with varying competence and in irrational order – Golland’s ‘Ragtime’ and ‘Blues’ don’t sit easily between sonatas by Telemann and Vivaldi. Baroque repertoire has the keener edge in Collis’s interpretations, but his Françaix and Staeps lack momentum and timbral colour. Kate Sherriff
