Iyad Sughayer

"He captures the music’s essence with such a close sense of recreative identity that it feels on occasion as though he could be composing it as he goes along. An outstanding debut."

BBC Music Magazine / Khachaturian: Piano Works CD (BIS Records) / March 2020

Armand Djikoloum, oboe

"This was followed by a performance of the Concerto for Oboe and Orchestra by Ralph Vaughan Williams with the hugely talented Armand Djikoloum…the concerto is renowned for its lyricism and virtuoso showmanship. In the suave and technically superb grip of Mr Djikoloum and the orchestra the work was given a trenchant outing of which the composer would have been proud."
