‘Oliver Davis (b1972) writes music that is easy on the ears, full of warm harmonies and buyant rhythms … Kerenza Peacock's soaring solo [in Gemini] is especially sumptuous, and she shines again in the folk fiddle-inspired second movement’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘The performance [of Op 26] from Hamelin and the Takács is totally compelling, encapsulating a vast array of colours and textures, from the dark and mysterious opening and the wistfulness of the central Intermezzo to the anguished climaxes of the Finale … a treasurable disc’ (BBC Music Magazine)» More

‘I’m going to beat the drum for an Awards runner-up this year, this magnificent selection of secular pieces by Dufay.

‘A hauntingly eloquent and moving performance of The diary of one who disappeared … revelatory, with the tenor on brilliantly communicative form, supported by fiercely dramatic playing from Julius Drake’ (Gramophone)

‘The Scholars take the [Missa Mater Patris] at an aptly reverential tread, capturing its introspective—at times hypnotic—qualities. The writing is tight and spare, the composer contrasting imitative duets with richer chordal passages.

Its range of interpretative insights—from the ethereal entries in the Nunc Dimittis to the full-voiced splendour of both Glorias—is exceptional and articulated with enthralling confidence by the St John’s singers … there is a particularly luminescent contribution from the boy trebles at the beginning of Howells’s Gloucester Service … Andrew Nethsingha’s exemplary booklet notes cap a warmly recommendable issue’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘Ian Page offers a matchless account of the 11-year-old Mozart's first opera. Lawrence Zazzo is a fine Apollo and Christopher Ainslie does his best as the wicked Zephyrus’ (BBC Music Magazine)
