‘It’s a gloriously overripe, at times rapturous interpretation [of the Sextet], and I’m smitten by it. If you’ve never taken to Dohnányi’s music before, these performances should win you over. If you’re already a convert, you’ll want this’ (Gramophone)

‘Excellent performances of some of the fledgling Mozart’s London pieces interspersed among an abundance of rarely investigated repertory … fingers crossed that The Mozartists will produce several more revelatory commemorations over the coming years until 2041’ (Gramophone)

‘A bran tub of bonbons, yes, but much more than that: it is also a portrait of an artist in love with music of all sorts … witty, wistful, extrovert, introspective and cheeky by turn, this is a masterclass in a certain style of piano-playing, and a dream of an album’ (Gramophone)

‘It's hard not to be smitten by the first-class musicianship, delicacy and fancy twinkling and winking through the Minkus transcriptions, or the genuine feeling bubbling up in Dvořák's Humoresque, Elgar's Salut d'amour, or Richard Tauber's sentimental hit number Das alte Lied … a sweet album, this, superbly played and recorded’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘Some performances grip you from the outset, and this St John's College recording of Vaughan Williams's Mass in G minor is one of them … there are fine recordings of all these pieces in the catalogue already. But as a single-disc anthology of Vaughan Williams's choral music this new St John's College CD is formidably attractive’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘The voice of Christopher Purves negotiating those perilous leaps [in Nell'africane selve] from one extreme of his vocal range to the other with ridiculous ease—what an impressive piece of singing that is … you're reminded what a fine singing actor he is—it's never just about words and music; it's all about character … outstanding performances from Purves and Arcangelo’ (BBC Record Review)

‘To have these gorgeous works in such exquisitely animated, tonally rich and expressively wide-ranging performances as Plowright’s feels likes luxury indeed. Suk’s piano works have never been better served on disc, and this release will surely add to the renewed appreciation of this remarkable composer. Recording and presentation (with fine booklet notes from Jan Smaczny) are first-rate. Suk deserves no less!’ (The Europadisc Review)» More

‘On this disc is one of Charpentier's greatest works … his Litanies for the Virgin are extraordinary … it almost brings tears to my eyes’ (BBC Record Review)

‘I could drop the needle pretty much anywhere and enjoy what emerged, from Liszt and Sibelius to Elgar and Mompou … it's a delight from top to bottom, Hough's own gems included’ (BBC Record Review)

‘Hollingworth is good, he's really wringing some wonderful juiciness … out of this polyphony … what I love about Vivanco is that there is definitely a sense of personality here … there are all sorts of clever contrapuntal tricks going on underneath the surface’ (BBC Record Review)

‘In these glowing accounts Cohen lovingly reveals Charpentier’s fusion of French sensibility and Italian passion, the music’s rarefied spirituality finding natural expression in Arcangelo’s one-to-a-part vocal and instrumental ensemble. There’s a real sense of dedication, even ardour, behind these performances that hone the music’s dramatic intensity and harmonic expressivity … this is a beautifully recorded issue which highlights a wealth of vocal and instrumental detail, and the comprehensive booklet includes texts and translations’ (Classical Source)» More

‘A sensuous and colourful score … full of dramatic incident’ (BBC Record Review)
