‘These players understand what it's all about, and the sound is always beautifully honed’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘Excellent performances by Andrew Lumsden's forces, an atmospheric recording, with a fine sense of perspective in the Cathedral acoustic, and helpful notes by Martin Neary, a former Winchester organist and a friend of the composer, together make this a highly recommendable single-disc survey of Tavener's church music’ (BBC Music Magazine)

„Hyperion Records, für seine akustisch exzellenten Aufnahmen zu Recht berühmt, übertrifft sich hier gleichsam noch einmal selbst … natürlich darf auf einer Tavener-CD, die «Angels» heißt, sein wohl bekanntestes Lied «Song for Athene» nicht fehlen … und das … sogar Steine zum Weinen bringen kann“ (Chorzeit, Germany)» More

«Dans la sonate de Franck, ils effectuent des choix assez hardis, pré sentant un premier mouvement plutôt lent et finissant en apothéose avec un finale aussi puissamment bouillonnant que le deuxième mouvement. Cela donne à l'ensemble une orientation fortement structurée, avec un troisième mouvement dans lequel Cédric Tiberghien déploie des trésors de poésie. Une nouvelle pierre blanche dans la discographie jusqu'ici sans faille de ce duo» (Classica, France)» More

‘The ebullient, tuneful opening of Eduard Lassen’s D major Concerto from 1888 put a smile on all my colleagues’ faces, and the lovely cantabile slow movement of the Scharwenka (composed six years later) lodged itself firmly in my head after just one listening. Langgaard’s much later single-movement work (clocking in at just ten minutes) is also a treat, particularly the sparkling sparring between soloist and piano’ (Presto Classical)

‘Simon Callaghan is a practised hand and mind in presenting with deep-rooted conviction such little known music … the engineering and production values by Ben Connellan and Jeremy Hayes present the music to excellent advantage, as does the essential liner-essay by Jeremy Nicholas … and the unstinting playing time assures us of generosity as well’ (MusicWeb International)» More

‘There’s a new series of Saint-Saëns recordings from America that’s starting to get some positive critical attention, and for very good reasons … this is turning out to be an excellent reappraisal of symphonic Saint-Saëns … I hope there’ll be more’ (BBC Record Review)

‘I enjoyed the way they’ve interspersed the Mass movements with plainchant by Hildegard of Bingen … allowing Tallis’s Spem in alium to bring it all to a radiant close’ (BBC Record Review)

‘One of the strengths of the group is the beautiful balance … and their tremendous concept of a suitable tempo for each song … it’s good finally to have a disc completely of Dufay which is totally a capella, and even if you have discs by other groups from other eras this will add perfectly to your collection’ (MusicWeb International)» More

‘The recording is well matched with artistry that flickers, surges and pursues a legato path and that extends to all the musicians and technicians involved. These qualities illuminate generously romantic works that otherwise have sunk in Housman’s terms ‘far past the plunge of plummet’’ (MusicWeb International)» More

‘Roth plays with almost missionary zeal, he and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, under Antony Hermus, making a convincing case for these works to be more widely performed’ (The Guardian)» More

‘The performances are excellent, the recording spectacularly good and I found the experience utterly convincing. It's a remarkable achievement’ (BBC Record Review)
