“Holly Mathieson’s beautifully configured orchestra delivers the audience a fine bonus, being right up there with its dramatic timing and wall-to-wall atmosphere. At the same time it creates a Bernard Herrmann-like pace and drive while supporting rather than dominating the singers who have a finely grained story to tell. Its presence is as evanescent as Quint’s.”
