Nicola Hands’ playing of both oboe and cor anglais is penetrating, elegant and wonderfully flexible.

Thank you for your enticing performance of ‘Music for Lovelorn Lenanshee’! Wonderful playing. The atmosphere and character and tempo are all terrific, earthy and rapturous by turns, and always engaging. I always want music both to sing and to dance, and you do both beautifully!
