Hamburger Abendblatt, April 2024"an enormous wealth of contrast... Paterson encouraged the musicians to achieve even greater waves of expression and powerful climaxes in Rachmaninoff's last symphony"
The Times, 4*, October 2022“It was the sheer lifeforce of Xenakis’s music that stood out - and the feeling of catharsis… due, no doubt, to Geoffrey Paterson, who conducted with the calm clarity that makes these complex scores seem easy."
The Scotsman, 4*, September 2022"Meticulously conducted by Geoffrey Paterson... he kept up the tension between the different sections in this relentless and compelling standoff. A magnificent performance."
