‘This is a distinguished performance … a most enjoyable CD which augurs well if, as I believe, it’s to be the first in a series. The recorded sound is good and Roger Nichols’ note is valuable. Encore, s’il vous plait’ (MusicWeb International)» More

‘Under Thierry Fischer, the Utah Symphony continues to roar back onto the recording scene … the rarely-heard Trois tableaux symphoniques d’apres La Foi that leads off the first volume of the cycle is a find—beautifully and often sparingly scored, setting scenes in a gracious, melodic Romantic manner with passages of mystery and atmosphere and a suitably grandiose conclusion’ (Classical Voice North America)

‘Natalie Clein and Christian Ihle Hadland lend this darkly passionate, tautly argued music blisteringly eloquent treatment, and they prove to be just as convincing advocates for Frank Bridge's magnificent wartime Cello Sonata … don't miss this one!’ (Classical Ear)» More

‘This is glorious music that unfolds with commitment … a commendable selection sung with considerable accomplishment’ (Classical Source)» More

‘Natalie Clein proves a dramatic, wholehearted interpreter of the cello version of Rebecca Clarke’s Viola Sonata … the sonata positively sizzles in this performance … if you’re looking for high-octane performances of this repertoire, then make the Clein-Hadland duo your first port of call’ (MusicWeb International)» More

‘The material is always gripping and memorable: there is nothing dull about these works. And, though they must be demanding to play, they are real quartet music, in that you could not imagine them scored in any other way … these are all impressive and rewarding works. They are played with superb confidence and panache by the Royal String Quartet’ (MusicWeb International)» More

‘A first-rate Saint-Saëns compendium, splendiferously engineered and stylishly performed by the Utah Symphony under its Swiss music director Thierry Fischer … hugely enjoyable stuff, and very strongly recommended’ (Classical Ear)» More

‘Sitivit anima mea brings the most rewards and … its poise and commitment do much to convey Cardoso’s superb artistry’ (Classical Source)

‘The string playing and string sound is very fine, blended effectively, with no period instrument asperity and a rich presence for the cello … the recording is exemplary and the booklet notes from Richard Wigmore are as excellent as ever’ (MusicWeb International)» More

‘Christopher Purves has a wonderfully expressive voice bringing a wide range of lamenting, revenging and wooing characters vividly to life against the wonderfully responsive backdrop of the orchestral forces of Arcangelo directed by Jonathan Cohen. This impressive and entertaining collection has sent me back to oratorios such as Joshua and Esther, and brings home (yet again) how much fine Handel vocal music there is’ (Early Music Review)» More

'Un exquisito fraseo, magnífico empaste, cuidada afinación, llamativa sonoridad y unos agudos siempre elegantemente dibujados, son su marca de identidad y hacen de sus interpretaciones momentos de gran disfrute, que ahora han quedado recogidos en este magnífico disco … dado el altísimo nivel alcanzado, resulta complicado destacar unos temas en detrimento de otros, pero sin duda es una belleza la interpretación de las Lamentaciones de Lassus, el Regina caeli de Victoria y el broche de oro que cierra el disco, el motete Laudate pueri de Palestrina, donde el coro luce en todo su esplendor' (Codalario.com, Spain)» More

‘Clein's performance [of the Clarke] … asserts itself with real cello playing … she latches on to the correct portamento style for the period, while observing good taste, and she gives a very passionate rendering of the opening movement’ (Classical Source)
