Nenov: Piano Concerto & Ballade No 2
Studio Master: CDA68205  Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available

‘The sound, recorded in the Royal Concert Hall, Glasgow during January last year is excellent, especially as auditioned as high resolution 24-bit flacs. This is an astonishingly fine release of music which will continue to enthral over and over again, each successive listening revealing more of Nenov’s genius. This will surely be one of my recordings of the year’ (Audiophile Audition, USA)» More

Potter: Piano Concertos Nos 2 & 4
Studio Master: CDA68151  Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available

‘Diminutive Cipriani Potter ('Little Chip' to his chums) was an early 19th-century British star of the keyboard, introducing London audiences to the piano concertos of Mozart and Beethoven and writing four of his own, plus nine symphonies—but who knows his name today? Howard Shelley does him proud in this effervescent recording of two Potter concertos, one a semi-homage to Mozart, the other a much broader and more expansive corker. Shelley adds a Rossini-themed showpiece for good measure, while all the while directing the sprightly Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra. Another gem from Hyperion’s Romantic piano concerto series’ (The Guardian)

La remarquable prise de son révèle les moindres détails, laisse respirer les textures, et met en valeur les solistes du LSO, qui se couvrent de gloire tour à tour' (Diapason, France)

Longue vie à Cinquecento!» (Diapason, France)» More
