24thGARY COOPER & RACHEL PODGER : 4 stars : "finesse was prevalent everywhere"

Conrad Wilson, The Herald : " "Among Britain's distinguished Bach violinists, Rachel Podger is the star. But hearing her in Handel at the weekend, the one composer the glorious obverse of the other, was just as much a treat. ... Podger's finesse was prevalent everywhere, though Cooper had his own Handelian solo spots, sensationally in one work - at the end of which he went through the motions of fanning the steam emerging from the Kirckman - and startling in another, when the theme of Brahms's Handel Variations rose from his fingers."
