National Centre for Early Music Logo "Winning the competition was a turning point in our career, bringing Sollazzo Ensemble to the attention of both a wider audience and professionals throughout Europe, and the opportunity to record a CD with Linn Records marked a decisive step in the continuation of our career. But what we gained was not only professional: it brought us closer together and we also really enjoyed listening to and meeting excellent colleagues and getting to know the warm and encouraging York audience."
