Coates is a master of his instrument, who had me transfixed for the duration of the performance.
This was virtuosity in the extreme – and he made it seem easy. He is, without a doubt,
someone who has a dazzling career ahead of him.

Carla Rees, review of Wigmore Concert, Jan 08 for MusicWeb International

Among the stand-out performers was Oliver Coates, a cellist with the London Sinfonietta,
who played electronically mangled yet attractively dissonant pieces.
