"A top achievement of the Britten Youth String Orchestra.....conductor Loes Visser achieves wonderful intonation, controlled tension, subtle dynamic phrasing - what could one ask more?
Jos van der Zanden, review Britten CD 2015 in KLASSSIEKE ZAKEN magazine, february 2016
"They touch the yearning, intense, melancholic atmosphere right in the heart. With a modest and sad, but rich and full sound, that becomes gradually more passionate, without ever exaggerating the pathos. Seldom Barber sounded this close to Mahler!"
Thea Derks, review Britten CD 2015 in CULTUURPERS, January 2016
"Mature depth by the Britten Youth String Orchestra (...) They are the star of the evening. Not only because of their disciplined playing together and balanced orchestra sound, but above all because of the mature depth that these young musicians, led by conductor Loes Visser achieve.“
