‘It is entirely typical of Robert Hollingworth … that he should have taken his latest ensemble, De Profundis, on yet another intriguing journey of discovery. The most impressive work here is the Mass which is presented within a liturgical framework with plainsongs and some interspersed motets. The opening Kyrie reveals a well-tuned ensemble with particularly strong bass singers’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘In the hands of Steven Isserlis and pianist Dénes Várjon Chopin’s Sonata seems to make perfect sense … Várjon is playing an 1851 Érard with less sustain than a modern concert grand and it frames the rich, earthy colours of Isserlis’s cello differently. The way the opalescent timbre bubbles up around the cello part I found really addictive’ (BBC Record Review)

‘Once again Kolesnikov presents an intelligently constructed and well-thought-out programme … there's no doubt in my mind that this young pianist is going from strength to strength with each new recording’ (MusicWeb International)» More

‘This is the second volume of Dussek concertos from Shelley, and his unaffected sympathetic approach is ideal’ (Classical Source)» More

‘From the majesty of the Chopin to the simple elegance of the Schubert, Isserlis’s singular mellow lyricism suits this repertoire perfectly. Várjon is deft and poised in accompaniment. The bonus is a Schubert song, Nacht und Träume, transcribed for cello and piano by Isserlis, an unmitigated nocturnal pleasure’ (The Guardian)» More

‘The Moonlight's famous opening movement shimmers so quietly in this recording, with the solo line sleepily picked out above the arpeggios. The middle movement stretches, breathes deeply and then delivers us to a 'Presto' finale played with exhilarating panache … at a take-no-prisoners tempo … rather special. It's a fine Beethoven recital’ (BBC Record Review)

‘The Royal String Quartet deliver this music [No 1] with a full-on level of intensity, culminating in a suitably manic and explosive ending … again, the Royal String Quartet takes no prisoners in its forthright and unfettered approach to the drama of the score [No 2] … a compelling and immensely detailed performance [of No 3] which is very well captured by this excellent recording’ (MusicWeb International)» More

‘The Canadian virtuoso brings all her characteristic crisp intelligence, poetry and judgment to bear as the Allegro [of the 'Tempest' Sonata] unfolds. Those qualities are everywhere apparent over the next hour or so … Hewitt continues to make a persuasive case for her survey’ (Limelight, Australia)» More

‘This Hyperion release contains the greatest performance of Ralph Vaughan Williams’s Sea Symphony I have ever heard, live or recorded, an account comprehensively impressive on every level … throughout, Brabbins is inspiring and profoundly insightful, and any lover of Vaughan Williams’s music must add this disc to their collection’ (Classical Source)» More

‘Pavel Kolesnikov is an artist who likes to surprise and to delve into the more forgotten corners of the repertoire: who would have thought he’d follow his compelling Louis Couperin disc with Beethoven? And a disc on which the Moonlight Sonata features? But that is in a way a red herring, for he begins in much more obscure territory with four rarities, which are delightful. He conveys the jokiness of the second piece … without labouring the point, while the fourth contrasts a quiet playfulness, sudden outbreaks of ire and an otherworldly dreaminess. This links perfectly to Op 27 No 2, Kolesnikov’s sound nicely haloed in the whispered opening movement … the finale, beautifully pedalled, is suitably agitated and taken at a fearless speed … Hyperion has given Kolesnikov a beautifully natural recording, plus engaging notes from Richard Wigmore’ (Gramophone)

‘Much of the choral work is as hushed and haunting as any on disc. David Hill’s instincts are sound, especially in the Requiem’s outer pillars and its keystone, ‘How lovely are thy dwellings’’ (Gramophone)

‘Shelley handles the often intricate solo parts of these concertos with characteristic aplomb and stylishness. The theme and variations of the Andantino of the Op 3 Concerto in E flat, the military inflections of the Op 14 Concerto in F and the ‘Turkish’ Rondo of the G minor Concerto are particularly appealing. Dussek wrote little orchestral music beyond his concertos but the sympathetic collaboration of the Ulster Orchestra showcases the increasing subtlety and sophistication of his handling of the orchestra … a welcome addition to the library of anyone interested in the fertile territory of late 18th- and early 19th-century piano music’ (Gramophone)
