«Andrey Gugnin propose un merveilleux récital consacré à Grieg, où le néo-classicisme élégant Du temps d’Holberg (une rare occasion d’entendre la version originale pour piano solo) côtoie la magnificence menaçante de la Ballade. Deux cycles complets de Pièces lyriques—d’extraordinaires miniatures pour piano—sont également inclus» (France Musique, France)

‘Beautifully produced (Andrew Keener), beautifully recorded (Oscar Torres), beautifully composed (we knew that), beautifully played (we would expect nothing less from Nash Ensemble members) and beautifully presented (typical of this label), the performances are also penetrating and revealing as well as being the epitome of interactive music-making … from Faune to final track, this January release will be a New Year winner’ (colinscolumn.com)» More

‘Hearing her plush, aubergine-colored voice, coquettish and confident in the drama, one understands why she's in top demand for the role [of Carmen] … selections from Bellini's I Capuleti e i Montecchi and Rossini's La Cenerentola and The Barber of Seville show off her seamless agility throughout the registers, with ringing top notes and smoldering low ones. At 28, the young mezzo has a full career ahead, and opera fans will want to keep their ears open’ (NPR, USA)

'Marc-André Hamelin saa teoksen tekniset vastukset kuulostamaan leikiteltävän helpoilta. Avauksen fanfaarimaiset akordit on tasapainotettu täydellisesti, Scherzon rytmit tanssivat kuin neidot kedolla ja finaalin fuuga puikkelehtii kuin kärppä rantapusikossa' (Rondo Classic, Finland)» More

‘A 19th-century musical dictionary observed that if God ever listened to music for pleasure, the composer he’d pick would be Boccherini. Isserlis and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment’s album doesn’t make the choice seem impossible. The music flows with a natural ease and a lively disposition, and often exploits the cello’s top register, requiring extra dexterity. No problem for Isserlis’ (The Times)

‘Listening to these performances, it’s obvious why Lim stunned audiences at the 2022 Van Cliburn piano competition, when he took the top prize, aged 18’ (The Times)

‘Music intricately composed and moments of the most tender beauty, delivered by seven male singers with an unflagging ensemble spirit’ (The Times)

‘Momen interprets this wonderful music with a natural ease never compromised by her myriad subtleties of dynamics, touch and tone’ (The Times)

‘Marc‑André Hamelin provides fresh insights into this work, a cohesive vision with a decidedly refined sensibility and evidence of decades of practice and reflection. This is a worthy addition to any collector’s library’ (ConcertoNet, Canada)

‘This is another super release from The Brabant Ensemble under their founder Stephen Rice to add to their growing and estimable back catalogue. I hope the project gets the success it deserves’ (MusicWeb International)» More

‘Isserlis plays ravishingly throughout this recital. His tone is as luminous at the bottom as it is up top (and Boccherini spends a lot of time in the stratosphere). Although he’s partnered in the concertos by members of the OAE, Isserlis is no slave to scholarship: there’s plenty of vibrato in the solo line, and the result is wonderfully engaging … if you already love Boccherini, you’ll be more convinced than ever that he’s a master. If you’re a sceptic: well, prepare to be seduced’ (Gramophone)

‘A finely crafted work from a composer who has an unforced, explorative post-romantic sensibility. Ngwenyama is herself an award-winning violist, and her feel for the medium and its instrumental interplay is clear from the opening 'Prelude: Tear in space/time’ … the Takács respond in turn with gentle vigour. Their performance is supplely committed, and laudably allows the music to breathe’ (BBC Music Magazine)
