'Profoundly incisive and intelligent singing … the jewel in the crown here is the late and woefully under-appreciated wedding cantata, O holder Tag' (Gramophone)

‘Signum Classics’ advocacy of the music of Jonathan Dove continues apace with this superb new chamber/vocal release, recorded in the summer of 2016 … this important release cannot be recommended too highly’ (Gramophone)

‘Marc-André Hamelin, known for his extraordinary virtuosity, here presents not so much the exact opposite of this but a world that complements it: slow, minimalist, yet strangely evocative and expressive’ (BBC Music Magazine)» More

‘What Hamelin has in his favour is an unwavering focus on the dense wave of Feldman’s rhythmic grid, and a studio recording as softly tangible as fine silk’ (Pianist)» More

‘Song-lovers will enjoy hearing familiar words afresh … a completely original, vastly underappreciated musical voice’ (BBC Music Magazine)» More

‘The Orlando Consort sings with a superb blend of sophisticated delivery and sweetness, with a gentleness that results in a whole, not a collection of colliding tropes … there is something satisfying and appealing about the way in which these four singers leave us with a sense of how important spontaneity is … The Orlando Consort respects the fact that he wrote from the heart, and only secondarily in any particular ‘genre’’ (MusicWeb International)» More

‘With each subsequent hearing (I have listened to the disc five times now) my enjoyment has increased exponentially. There are some lovely lyrical ideas (the second subject of No 2’s first movement, for instance) and a string of others that are engagingly capricious. I am already rather fond of them. They certainly make fascinating and worthwhile additions to the Hyperion series’ (Gramophone)

‘The warmth and fluency of Howard Shelley’s playing presents the music in the strongest possible light’ (BBC Music Magazine)» More

‘This treble sound is, well, nothing less than ‘ethereal’; I can’t come up with a more appropriate word. Nor can I for the rest of the music on this unforgettable program. The Mass, which the notes aptly describe as a ‘masterpiece’ whose plainchant model is unknown, deserves all the attention it can get—as does this recording, a masterpiece itself, the finest I’ve heard from this choir’ (Classics Today)» More

‘Westminster pair Media vita with two other six-voice works by Sheppard: the Marian motet Gaude, gaude, gaude Maria and the Missa Cantate. In the generous acoustic of All Hallows, Gospel Oak, the contrapuntal intricacies of both emerge clearly, never lost in Sheppard’s carefully spaced vocal textures. It’s quite possible that 2017 marks Sheppard’s 500th anniversary year. It’s hard to think of a better birthday present than this outstanding recording of three of his finest works’ (Gramophone)

‘This CD is a fine tribute to Stanford’ (Choir & Organ)» More

‘Nicky Spence is superb … he deals heroically with Strauss’s more outrageous demands and, perhaps most importantly, he has just the right interpretative keenness and enthusiasm to put a persuasive case for everything he sings here’ (Gramophone)
