The Guild, Anthony Legge and The Firm in the press
In the lead up and following Anthony Legge’s very successful concert at Pilgrim Church on July 2nd, here is a sampling from the Adelaide Advertiser’s ‘AdelaideNow’ website: “Legge’s playing was authoritative, supportive, sympathetic and as aware of the texts as though he, too, was singing them.” – Elizabeth Silsbury, AdelaideNow July 05, 2010. Link to this review here. There is also a very interesting article by Tim Lloyd “An accomplished accompanist at play” – link to this article here. (The Advertiser July 02, 2010)
