'Bona fide Vauxhall music by Boyce (the aptly named 'Spring Gardens') and Lampe ('The Farewel to Vaux Hall') are both sung ardently by Greg Tassell … Claire Bessent’s lovely 'There sweetest flowers of mingled hue' is amply worth the price of admission' (Gramophone)

‘This new set has the advantages of CPE Bach’s striking A major Concerto, Bremen’s excellent Kammerphilharmonie and superb recorded sound, darker in colour than the bright-ringing 1998 version. His interpretations, graceful and finely-etched before, now have a more rugged depth … passagework is wonderfully supple, always shaped by his inimitable expressive urgency’ (BBC Music Magazine)» More

'With the appeal of choral singing in the United Kingdom showing no signs of decline it is, nevertheless, important that the concert repertory is refreshed with appealing and 'relevant' works, satisfying to both singer and listener alike. This generous two-disc release from Signum presents two recent important additions to the genre, launched with their customary bright and rich tone by the Hertfordshire Chorus under their indefatigable conductor, David Temple … the BBC Concert Orchestra offer superb support to both composers and the engineering is up to Signum’s customary excellence. This important release should be in every keen choral singer’s Christmas stocking' (Gramophone)

‘It is the Hyperion team who time and again demonstrate that a more intimate approach works wonders in capturing the essence of these exquisitely melodious and immaculately structured scores … the exquisite finesse of this cherishable team put them in a class apart’ (BBC Music Magazine)» More

‘Her gossamer touch makes Scarlatti's rapid passagework and figurations sound light as summer rain, while his fiddly embellishments sparkle and shimmer’ (BBC Music Magazine)» More

'Guy Johnston’s cello was built in Rome in 1714 by the Bavarian-born David Tecchler. To commemorate its 300th birthday, the 36-year-old English cellist devised an autobiographical programme that traces this particular instrument back to its Roman roots … this is an enjoyable excursion and documents Johnston’s versatility' (Gramophone)

‘A superbly involving account of Vaughan Williams’s A London Symphony … above all, Brabbins exhibits a very real love for this remarkable score, whose wealth of memorable invention, generosity of spirit and kaleidoscopic range of mood combine to make the composer’s initial printed thoughts such a feast for both head and heart … essential listening for all RVW devotees’ (Gramophone)

‘The present issue belongs at or near the top of the Vaughan Williams Christmas list. Ever since 2011, when he collaborated with Lawrence Power in beautifully wrought renditions of Flos Campi and the Suite for Viola (also Hyperion), Brabbins has proved himself an unfailingly sensitive interpreter of the composer’ (Classical Source)» More

‘In an age awash with soulless automata masquerading as pianists, violinists and the like, it is always a pleasure to listen to Cédric Tiberghien … the recital ends with a wonderfully quixotic account of the Op 31 Scherzo that Moriz Rosenthal would surely have been at ease with, which is all you can ask for’ (Audiophile)
