'Incisive, rhythmically taut in fast movements, eloquently expressive in slow ones, Farley's artistry is perfectly complemented by the suave sophistication of Orpheus Britannicus'

- BBC Music Magazine

'Incisive, rhythmically taut in fast movements, eloquently expressive in slow ones, Farley's artistry is perfectly complemented by the suave sophistication of Orpheus Britannicus'
BBC Music Magazine

'[...] richly served by Farley, whose playing shows intelligence, incisive amber tone and, where required, lyrical poise [...] The single strings of Orpheus Britannicus are thin but elegant, lending the Biber rare gentleness'
Gramophone

'[Farley] is also a master of phrasing and dynamics, while introducing delicate ornaments and subtle trills as appropriate [...] This a lovely CD, thoughtfully programmed and beautifully executed.'
Early Music Review

'Orpheus Britannicus provide a wide range of accompaniment to Robert Farley’s bright baroque trumpet.'
Lark Reviews

'The CD is well recorded, in the sensible acoustic of the Chapel of Jesus College, Cambridge which gives an attractive bloom while retaining clarity. Robert Farley’s trumpet playing is most impressive.'
Andrew Benson-Wilson

'Everyone who likes music for trumpet should not miss this fine disc.'
