  • What can I say about Corderoy? She is a former organ scholar, who apparently learnt the instrument in double quick time on an organ built by her father in her bedroom, then decided to be a conductor, and here she was aged 25, conducting one of our top orchestras in a difficult, complicated work, in a hostile acoustic, in a packed cathedral. Her control was immaculate, her grasp of the music’s elaborate ebb and flow apparently flawless. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra played for her like angels.

  • The young and strikingly impressive Charlotte Corderoy – was in command of her material, holding the pace and keeping everything together. The RPO produced appropriately ethereal sounds.

  • Details pop, articulation keeps the score fizzing, and Humperdinck’s sweeping transitions were handled especially impressively by Corderoy, who pressed on tempi to prevent things from getting too sleepily indulgent. The overture and ballet sequence were especially vivid instances of musical storytelling that supported the drama.
