"Carlos Bonell is a wonderful player." -- New York Times Carlos Bonell has enjoyed an immensely varied career. He has appeared regularly with all the major British orchestras and at many international festivals including those of London, Aldeburgh, Helsinki, Israel, Tanglewood, and Hong Kong. Apart from his solo recitals his appearances have included playing with the London Contemporary Dance Theatre; tours and recordings with John Williams and violinists Salvatore Accardo and Pinchas Zukerman; and TV and concerto dates with singers Teresa Berganza and Cleo Laine. Bonell also formed his own ensemble, widely regarded as one of the most innovative and creative guitar-based ensembles. He has worked with Sir Paul McCartney in notating and recording a concerto for guitar and orchestra, and that work was featured in a June 2007 cover article by The New Yorker magazine. Jacek Kaspszyk made his conducting debut at the age of 14. He became Principal Conductor of the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in 1977 and Musical Director in 1980, making several European tours. These included his Royal Festival Hall debut and major festival concerts. His recordings with the Polish National Opera include Moniuszko's The Haunted Manor (EMI Classics) awarded with a Platinum Disc, Penderecki's Ubu Rex (CD Accord), and Szymanowski's King Roger (CD Accord), nominated for Record of the Year by BBC Music magazine and critically acclaimed by Gramophone.
