Chandler is an impeccably stylish soloist in two concertos. Throughout,
he also directs La Serenissima in eloquently precise but excitingly
spontaneous performances of unfailingly imaginative music.

instruments bring a smooth beauty to some of the composer's most elegant
music.

His cadenza is finely conceived and executed – he is clearly a highly
talented soloist as well as [a] skilful editor and director.
International Record Review, July /August 2008
The two enduring features of this series have been the fantastic sound

…this latest disc from the excellent British baroque orchestra
La Serenissima fizzes with excitement.
Solo fiddle and founder Adrian Chandler delivers his lines with
steely assertiveness in the allegros and tender lyricism in the
slow movements… stupefying.
