BARRINGTON ORWELL maintained an incomparable reputation in three-and-a-half decades of almost perpetual employment until his tragic death in an unexplained contrabassoon accident early in 2013. His work as a conductor was without parallel, and critical reaction was copious and unrestrained:

‘…Conductor Barrington Orwell was not able [sic]…’ South Yorkshire Bugle

‘…achieved sounds undreamed of by the composer…’ Berkhamsted Gazette

‘Orwell’s conducting…took the art to a new level…’ Süddeutscher Blatt

‘…quite simply beyond words…’ Torbay Gleaner

‘Incredible…’ Audience member

‘The Beethoven…was…fast…’ Leamington Herald

‘I think it safe to say that in thirty years of concert-going I have yet to see a display of conducting to compare with Orwell’s stupefying effort…’ South West Cotswold and District Newsletter

He has never been to Uzbekistan.
