Testimonials

I have known Robin Browning for several years and know him to be an expert musician and conductor.
… he [is] very effective in projecting his ideas and [has] a good, clear stick technique. In conversations which I have had with him over the years, I have been impressed with his knowledge of the orchestral repertoire.

Sir Charles Mackerras

Of all the conductors I’ve worked with, Robin Browning is the one most attuned to a soloist’s mindset. Energetic, vibrant and totally committed it is always a pleasure to make music with him.

Charles Owen
Concert Pianist

Working with Robin on our children’s concerts is always an absolute highlight of my year. It’s such an honour to work with someone with such integrity and patience; wonderful to see the skill with which he takes the music apart at rehearsals, adjust things, and puts it all back sounding better than ever.

His haunting Sibelius, theatrical and passionate Tchaikovsky and properly glowing Firebird of Stravinsky stand out vividly in my mind. His is a searching, intelligent approach, and even the most familiar music becomes new and exciting again in his hands. He’s a warm and good humoured colleague and I am immensely proud of what we have achieved together.

Robin is one of my favourite conductors to work with… The performances he draws out of me and the orchestras take flight and transcend our highest expectations.

I hugely enjoyed performing Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez with Robin Browning. He is an excellent communicator, a great musician and he exercised real control over the orchestra.
