“Equilbey maintained light but effective control over all three pieces, encouraging her orchestra to display its range of colour with skill and confidence.”
George Hall,
The Guardian, 22/09/2015
(4/5 stars) “the orchestra, under Equilbey’s supervision, never seemed in any danger of running out of puff”

Financial Times, 22/09/2015
“Insula Orchestra and accentus are sophisticated music makers. The voices blended softly with the timbre of the strings. (…) the programme and the performances were beautifully poised and were marked by elegant commitment. More please. Especially if it’s Zelenka!”
Anna Magdalena’s Notebook,

“(…) beautifully judged tempos and balance in both chorus and orchestra, allied to fine playing and choral singing and a fine line-up of soloists all went to contributing as satisfying a performance of the work as one is likely to encounter”.
“(…) Laurence Equilbey and her forces will be bringing the same programme to the Barbican Centre on 21 September. London concert goers should not miss it”
