Following on from the opening night of David Alden’s new production of Handel's Giulio Cesare at The Grange Festival on the 7th June, Christian Curnyn received excellent reviews conducting his own group The Early Opera Company:

Curnyn conducts throughout with small-scale gestures, sets perfect tempi, ensures suitable (not excessive) decoration, and pulls this hugely entertaining show together with his Early Opera Company orchestra. - The Telegraph
Christian Curnyn directed the Early Opera Company in a shapely account of Handel’s miraculous score, nicely paced, neatly articulated and attentive to the singers’ needs. - BachTrack
an assured appearance from Christian Curnyn, conducting the period orchestra Early Opera Company in their Festival debuts. - Broadway World
