…stormy grandiloquence …twilit poetry – Gramophone on Joseph’s first solo recording

The disc was a Classic FM ‘Album of the Week’, and hailed by Gramophone for its ‘stormy grandiloquence’ and ‘twilit poetry’. Joseph is also a founding member of the award-winning ‘Magnard Ensemble’. Orchestral credits include performances with the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and Aurora Orchestra.

Joseph studied at Cambridge University and the Royal Academy of Music, and his teachers have included Angela Malsbury, Mark van de Wiel, Patrick Messina, Christopher Richards, and Andrew Marriner.
