A leading period and contemporary bass player
'Bach’s music is often described as being, in essence, about dance. You only had to watch the double bass player, Rosie Moon, so free and expressive...to understand what is meant.'
Fiona Maddocks, The Observer
'These arias were given vivid character and drama by the instrumentalists...(including) Rosie Moon's energised double bass...and were as much participants in the drama as were the singers with whom they conversed.'
Claire Seymour, Opera Today
'Vivaldi's energy is all his own from the start, with one double bass (the magnificent Rosie Moon) underpinning all the tempests and fires of the heart.'
David Nice, The Arts Desk
'The double bassist was within arm's reach as she despatched Handel's tempestuous figuration with historically informed panache. The proximity was thrilling.'
Flora Wilson, The Guardian
'Rosie Moon (was) an ever-present powerhouse pulling the shape-shifting ensemble forward like an irresistible current.'
Richard Powell, York Press
'...irresistible, boisterous onward-hammering rhythms, driven along by Whelan's harpsichord and the bouncy, infectious bass playing of Rosie Moon.'
Robert Thicknesse, Gramophone Magazine
'...accompanied by the sumptuous double bass of Rosie Moon, the heart of soul of the continuo'
