Al Bustan Festival, with Jaqueline Ross
Harpsichord and Violin recital, with Jaqueline Ross |
“Applaudissement d’un public conquis par le charme ‘bachien’ qui opère comme sous l’effet d’une baguette magique, dans l’écrin dor d’une villa somptueuse. En rappel, un andante, toujours d’une sonate de Bach, où les dernières notes sont allées doucement s’éteindre entre niches vides et fioritures en plâtre aux plafonds éclairés par de grands lustres à pendeloques.” L’Orient le Jour |
| 2002 | Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford |
Organ Recital
J S Bach: G minor Fantasia and Fugue (BWV 542) |
“David Ponsford’s performance of Bach’s G minor Fantasia and Fugue (BWV 542) exploded like a supernova. Here was an organist of alpha-plus class lending to the aspiring, dramatic figuration of the Fantasia and the ensuing fugal passion, an improvisatory rapture in which the long-dead composer’s heart seemed to beat again. Such art in the writing, such art in response, brings tears to the eyes.” The Oxford Times |

With the London Gala Orchestra |
“David Ponsford took centre stage for an exquisite performance of Bach’s Harpsichord Concerto in A. A muted string accompaniment wrapped Ponsford’s playing in fine linen. Those long sweeping Bach phrases came through like tinkling reflections from the chandeliers. Even the Guildhall was in its element.” Bath Evening Chronicle |
