"The Galliard Ensemble are like angels sent from heaven. What more could a composer want than to have his music performed so superbly by such a talented group of young musicians of incredible sensitivity and musicianship." Paul Patterson

"The Galliard Ensemble gave a distinguished recital of music for wind quintet. Its programme centred on the 20th century, when the combination of flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn enjoyed a renaissance, but an adaptation of Mozart's B flat major Adagio K411 (originally for clarinets and basset-horns) caught the music's solemn serenity. Elsewhere, in Ibert's Trois Pieces Breves, Ligeti's Six Bagatelles and Nielsen's Quintet, it was the Galliard's vivacity, polish and well-harnessed energy that gave the recital such a boost. There was keen rapport here in music that is basically good-natured but makes diverse demands, and the Galliard's way with it was wily and winning" (BBC Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert) Geoffrey Norris, The Daily Telegraph
