Leicester Concert-goer on last week's Lunchtime Concert: '.....one was aware that listening to Julius Drake and Nicholas Daniel, one was listening to two great artists.....beautiful, lovely, liquid sound, wonderful climax, passionate......' leicesterconcertgoerdiary.wordpress.com/2025/01/20/l...

A truly outstanding concert by Nicholas Daniel and Julius Drake for us at Hansom Hall today. Nicholas spoke of the fires in Los Angeles, where two of his friends and fellow oboists had lost everything & it felt that he was inspired to play with an intense feeling that transported us all.
