“Jessie Montgomery’s Starburst (2012) – all the above strings players plus violinists Melissa White, Nathan Amaral and Graham Mitchell, violist Rosalind Ventris and bassist Graham Mitchell – sounded as per its title. Then finally Poster returned, plus clarinetist Carlos Ferreira and flautist Jane Mitchell, for Appalachian Spring; this was a performance full of polished warmth, generosity and a palpable pleasure in the music’s beauty and energy. There had been a crescendo of cheers all evening, but now came a rare Wigmore Hall standing ovation, answered by a tutti encore – Poster’s own Moon River arrangement, despatched with Hollywood-esque glossiness. In short, what a night!”
