This program is being performed four times. The one on Saturday, February
12, at the Anvil, Basingstoke at 7:45 p.m. GMT, will be streamed live on the
Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment's website at
http://www.oae.co.uk/

I've seen a couple of strongly positive online reviews of the February 8
performance of this program at Queen Elizabeth Hall in London.

Edward Seckerson, "Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment / Zinman, Queen
Elizabeth Hall," The Independent,
http://wwwindependent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/classical/reviews/

and
Graham Rogers, "OAE / Zinman..." The Classical Source,
http://www.classicalsource.com/

Some of the musicians involved might take exception to the extravagant use
of purple prose in these two reviews, but it's clear the critics loved the
orchestra and Tony Pay's performance in particular. By the way, his
excellent recording of the Weber Concerto no. 1 with the OAE (he conducted
as well), along with the Crusell concerto no. 1, can be found in a Virgin
Classics 2-CD set, 7243 5 61585 2 8.
