‘How do we evaluate Hyperion’s Romantic Piano Concerto series, which over a period of 35 years recorded more than 200 works for piano and orchestra? Was it one of the glories of the catalogue or a repository of works whose ambitions exceeded their achievement? The answer, of course, is that it was both … in the past fortnight I’ve listened to 40 of these volumes, most of which I bought full price. I keep being reminded why I forked out so much on this series: the joy of discovering unforgettable passages in works by second-tier composers such as d’Albert, Scharwenka and Rubinstein. They’re only unforgettable thanks to Hyperion’ (The Spectator)» More

‘The playing is uniformly so dazzling … a fine collection of some interesting contemporary pieces that repay attention, beautifully performed and recorded’ (American Record Guide)

‘Unquestionably one of the most important series in the history of recorded music … Is this handsomely produced box-set worth acquiring? As a work of art alone, yes! If you have not encountered these works before, do not hesitate. Dip in anywhere and you will be rewarded … there is a booklet with detailed and revealing articles by Mike Spring and Andrew Keener, together with two separate indexes … the discs have colour-coded spines to further help navigation. We expect no less. Hyperion set the industry standard for typography, annotation and presentation years ago. I eagerly await Vol 2’ (Gramophone)

‘They record in a generous acoustic and favour gentle pacing and long, languishing phrases. Theirs is an Iberian polyphony in dreamy, soft hues, at times utterly sublime’ (Gramophone)

‘The Huddersfield Choral Society are impressive throughout, singing with a winning combination of warmth and clarity, and Brabbins draws excellent playing from the Orchestra of Opera North, Elgar's scoring never seeming thick or stodgy. Taped last April in Huddersfield's glorious Town Hall, it all sounds marvellous’ (TheArtsDesk.com)» More

‘The five members of the European ensemble Cinquecento (six for Cantate Domino) couldn't be more robust if they tried, and sail through this bracing repertoire unafraid … the musical equivalent of a rich chocolate cake’ (The Times)» More

‘Few have matched the prismatic imagination of Isata Kanneh-Mason … her shrewdly weighted accents, ravishing colours and keen attention to dynamics work together in a way that makes most other performances, however exciting, seem flat in character … a distinguished addition to the Prokofiev discography’ (Gramophone)

‘A fascinating rediscovery … he could not have better advocates than Cupertinos and Toscano … Cupertinos sing with such commitment that one could be forgiven for thinking this was an actual liturgy being enacted and we were part of the congregation … an intelligence of approach that pervades their entire recital … a dynamic, continually varied and expressive experience, beautifully realised by Cupertinos’ (MusicWeb International)» More

‘Cinquecento are true specialists in this repertoire’ (Gramophone)

‘So much more than just another Handel-et-al countertenor recital: it’s a delightful portal into a world of baroque wonderment and a musical project that delivers on every level’ (Gramophone)

‘This is a near perfection as an album of 20th- and 21st-century violin-and-piano duos can reasonably be … hard to beat’ (Gramophone)
