Telegraph review of latest Conchord CD
Conchord recieves a four star rating on 1st September 2010 in The Telegraph.

"Charles Martin Loeffler (1861-1935) joins Gabriel Pierné in an attractive programme of chamber music. There is an elegiac tone to Loeffler’s Two Rhapsodies for oboe, viola and piano and tinges of regret and bliss to the voice of Dazeley, echoed by the wistfulness and caprice of the Duruflé."

The new album features: Pierné: Sonata da camera; Loeffler: 2 Rhapsodies, 5 Songs; Duruflé: Prélude, Récitatif et Variations

The CD was also praised in The Observer on 25 April 2010
"... highly entertaining ... played with style and verve by the London Conchord Ensemble... a rare treat .."

The International Record Review, June 2010:

Review for concert in Dorking
"Dorking Concertgoers has acquired the clever knack of finding exquisite performers for their concerts. Their selection of the London Conchord Ensemble for their early April concert was inspired - seldom have I been part of an audience so transfixed by the performance that you could hear the proverbial pin drop. ..
.. this concert was a seldom-seen example of inspired musicianship. "
