## Reviews

* BBC Radio 3: “the most innovative ensemble in Britain today”
* The Times: “Chamber Domaine brilliantly demonstrated the thrill of young players successfully climbing Mount Everest… with exhilarating bravery and expressive force”
* Classic FM, regarding their recent CD release, Gorecki: Life Journey: "…it’s a fascinating, beautifully chosen programme which shows Gorecki's stylistic journey from avant-garde, sparse astringency, to his less dissonant, more softly expressive later style. Across the board, Chamber Domaine's performances are precise of attack and brilliant of tone, with a soulfulness that cuts to the heart of even the steelier sounding works."
