Rumon Gamba press reviews

“Rumon Gamba revealed himself to be an extraordinarily vital and lively musician who brought the symphony to a magnificent finale. Under his commanding guidance, timpani rolls and thundering brass unleashed archaic parallel fifths and blue frozen thirds with raw energy.” – Stefan Rütter, Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger, 16 February 2007

‘[Arnold] has posthumously found his definitive interpreter in Rumon Gamba: these are performances that mirror the music itself in their ultra-clear verve and colour.’  (BBC Music Magazine, April 2010)

‘Gamba led the orchestra with such a certainty and with the orchestra’s high-levelled standard, it was a fantastic performance.’ (Ongakunotomo Magazine, February 2010)

"Rumon Gamba… harnesses all the narrative drive as well as the irresistible pictorial qualities of Malcolm Arnold's ballet music." (Gramophone, December 2009)
