“The final number was Bradley performing Barber’s haunting setting of Matthew Arnold’s sombre Dover Beach...This was classy. High class string playing coupled with great attention to text. There’s so much in the words and music in this piece. It needs a restrained, text first, approach and it got it...a fine conclusion to a well thought out programme.”
— John Gilks, Opera Ramblings
