Reviews

‘Fine performances, always intelligent, with many considerable insights … perfect intonation and excellent ensemble and tonal blend, with first-class Hyperion recording’ (The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs)

‘Very fine … I enjoyed these performances because they deliver Beethoven as I want him, free of the biographical sensationalism. Highly recommended, not least for its super-budget price’ (CD News)
