What was striking throughout their recital was the profound, almost natural, understanding and empathy that the two performers displayed [with Jacob Portelli, baroque violin]. Theirs was compatibility that does not come easy – throughout there was mutual respect, with Joanne shouldering the onus of responsibility as both accompanist but not shying to come to the fore when it was her responsibility to do so.

"It was impressive to note that Joanne managed to capture the subtle difference in style between the German and the French work [harpsichord solos], and her articulation and dexterity was nothing short of commendable"

The new harpsichord played an important role in the concert, played beautifully as expected by Joanne Camilleri who also played the organ exceptionally well in Handel’s Concerto in B flat major for Organ and Strings.
