‘What is so remarkable about Bowes… is not just his technical assurance, his flawless intonation over the widest range, tonal and dynamic, but his natural feeling for warmly romantic expressiveness… Thomas Bowes… shows his mettle as a formidable virtuoso…’
Gramophone Magazine

“…Thomas Bowes has taken his time to set down his thoughts. But this strategy has undoubtedly paid off in what is a beautifully idiomatic, elegantly considered and clearly recorded performance. He can certainly go full throttle, but equally offers intimate autumnally golden and nostalgic melodies in the Andante, and has the ideal light touch for the scampering and brilliant Allegro molto. Indeed, his impressive range of colour and dynamics is perfect for Elgar’s invention. In lesser hands, the concerto can feel discursive, but Bowes’s sure sense of ebb and flow ensures that you are engaged throughout.” The Strad
