"the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra were rock-solid advocates for Stravinsky’s artful neo-classicism, which sounded as witty and engaging as one could hope for under the immaculate control of conductor Tom Primrose."

Gramophone 

"the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra ... sounds witty and engaging under the fine control of conductor Tom Primrose"

The Stage

"they blossom here under the alert and perceptive baton of Tom Primrose, whose rhythmic verve ensures ideally precise playing" - Hugh Canning

"Tom Primrose leans...into the emotion of Stravinsky's whip-smart score, and his fluent approach is particularly strong in the music's more sombre, intimate moments" 

The Times

"The orchestra played superbly under Tom Primrose"

Music OMH

"Primrose kept things on a tight rein, yet it never felt constrained and this was one of those Rakes where the voices were able to bloom yet the full imagination of Stravinsky's score, with its eclectic mix of influences, was able to register to the full"

Robert Hugill
