‘Johnson is alive to every juicy nuance of the richly detailed accompaniments … [Appl] brings many beautiful details to his reading’ (BBC Music Magazine)» More

‘Very few pianists of Kolesnikov’s generation share his abundance of intelligence, sensitivity, imagination and sheer instrumental mastery’ (Gramophone)

‘This album has everything I could wish for in performances of Debussy's piano music: a wide tonal palette, clear outline of structure, sensitive touch, good pedalling, flair, clarity and rhythmic control’ (Pianist)» More

‘Hough himself is an exhibited painter, and his approach to Images resembles that of a visual academic, concerned to explore intellectual nuances’ (Pianist)» More

‘Nolan, whose Widor recordings have shown him to have an intelligent and instinctive feel for the French Romantic repertory, enhances that reputation here with playing that is perceptive, compelling and intensely musical … this disc makes a fitting tribute to an organist and composer who holds a special place in many hearts on either side of the English Channel’ (Gramophone)

‘The vocal quality is very fine, not to say superb, and when the music calls for an extrovert approach (as do Byrd’s Vigilate or, very differently, Dunstable’s four-voice Veni Sancte Spiritus) the singers respond with an athleticism and a feel for pacing that isn’t perhaps so common. The close miking does justice to the contrapuntal details, maintaining clarity in all but the densest writing’ (Gramophone)

‘The Gesualdo Six offer a collection of 17 Renaissance English motets, sung with precision, perfect balance and glowing warmth under the direction of Owain Park. Byrd’s Vigilate is delivered with suitably vital urgency, while Sheppard’s Libera nos, salva nos I unfolds with quiet, stately grandeur. This is singing at its most contained and intimate’ (The Observer)

‘Falla has fallen from fashion in recent years, but with this magnificent recording pianist Garrick Ohlsson shows exactly why the composer deserves urgent rehabilitation … Ohlsson’s playing is beautifully voiced and balanced, evoking an orchestra in full flood and with an unerring and irresistible sense of rhythm … like the best Flamenco, this artistry is dignified, poised, focused and magisterial … and the sound quality is nothing less than you would expect of Hyperion’s piano CDs at their best’ (BBC Music Magazine)» More

‘The restrained insistence of Dazeley’s singing proves persuasive in music that balances ornate imagery with stripped-back simplicity of expression. Martineau, meanwhile, lets every note tell with his customary subtlety … another fine issue in what is proving to be a most admirable series. I look forward to the rest of it’ (Gramophone)
