Reviews
‘ Mendelssohn’s Piano Sextet in D major…. which throws the spotlight on pianist Beatrice Nicholas. Her flurries of arpeggios chime with precision and clarity as she rolls up and down the keyboard with an almost supernatural ease, willing each musician to match her skill and enthusiasm. ‘
Beatrice Nicholas ‘at the piano made light work of the challenging, and beautiful piece.’
