About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Given the quality of the playing of the Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique, the often exceptional Archiv sound and the single-mindedness of Gardiner's approach, I wasn't surprised to find at the end of my three-week stint of listening that his set emerged ahead on points over the Norrington and Harnoncourt... And if that is an accolade Gardiner might expect to covet: well, it strikes me that he is at his finest -- in the Seventh Symphony or the Second -- when he is out of costume, competing, no holds barred, with the big boys. At best, the physical and intellectual vitality of his music-making brings us close to the Ding an sich, the inexplicably wonderful thing-in-itself. It is a best that occurs only intermittently in [this] set. That it occurs at all is perhaps a sufficient miracle. Richard Osborne, Gramophone
