‘[Louis Couperin] receives deserved attention on this revelatory release from Pavel Kolesnikov. The format and structure of his programme is, itself, an inspired achievement … Kolesnikov’s performances transcend genre, tradition or repertoire … his innate responses to these twenty-two pieces will surely be of interest to anybody sensitive to music’s expressive capacities.’ (Classical Source)» More

‘The soloists are brilliant throughout—appealing voices, dead-center pitch, superb Baroque style, crisp diction … a well-filled CD of three not-so-similar treatments by the Bach family. Very highly recommended’ (Classics Today)» More

‘It’s the two glorious performers, though, who have really made this series essential. Alina Ibragimova’s … wiry, athletic leaps and puckered notes bring zestful life to every bar. Cédric Tiberghien’s piano, thrusting along, rhythms crisp, is more galvanising still, in keeping with the sonatas’ beginnings as keyboard sonatas with violin decorations. The repertoire swings between the youthful and the mature, and includes a charming variation set and the K570 piano sonata, laced up with a violin part added by rogue hands. I loved it all’ (The Times)» More

‘This issue of [Stravinsky's] two-piano works played by a pair of contemporary master pianists is a collaboration to be savoured, a real meeting of minds … a truly wonderful disc. Even by Hyperion’s exacting standards, I imagine it will be a tough ask for them to match this stupendous release in what remains of 2018’ (MusicWeb International)» More

‘What’s remarkable is Appl’s sheer fluency as a Lieder singer, his ease with the idiom and his naturalness of manner—words and line sit together just as they should … Johnson’s notes offer the usual wealth of wisdom and wit, while Hyperion’s sound is immaculate—especially when heard as a Studio Master download’ (Gramophone)
