‘This CD is another very successful piece of work from Laurence Perkins who has always remained individual and characterful. The playing is full of commitment and I recommend it highly. The recording quality from the Hyperion team at the wonderful Wyastone Concert Hall is excellent throughout’ (Double Reed News)» More

‘Meaty listening’ (The Times)» More

‘Marc-André Hamelin’s technical finesse, textural variety, linear organisation and expressive intelligence bring life and meaning to the unique pianistic aesthetic of Godowsky’s Passacaglia, setting reference standards for listeners and pianists alike … in short, Hamelin’s Hyperion recording remains a top recommendation’ (Gramophone)

‘Binns has an uncanny ability to absorb and convey the character of a vast array of music; whatever he plays is marked by both sympathy and commitment … this release should simultaneously boost both your spirits and Binns’s reputation. The restorations are expert – a special boon in the Rubinstein and Alkan works … fine commentaries by both Gramophone’s Jeremy Nicholas and APR’s Mike Spring only add to the festivities’ (Gramophone)

'Prosseda is een meester-verteller, die de kunst van het doseren door en door beheerst' (De Standaard, Belgium)

‘Lim's sincere, searching voice and powers of communication always come across in a performance well worth hearing’ (Gramophone)

‘Lim's luminous tone belies his years: it's hard to credit he was all of 21 when giving this performance in New York's Carnegie Hall … the close recording gives away no hint of a live audience while complementing what is fundamentally an intimate address to the cycle: again, you could almost forget (unless actually playing it!) that here is some of Bach's most showy and extrovert keyboard writing’ (Pianist)

‘The 21-year-old pianist gives a fine, muscular account of the Goldbergs, with touches of playfulness, in this live recording from Carnegie Hall’ (The Guardian)

‘Dazzling accounts of Russian ballet transcriptions … boy, does he succeed … his ability to carry off a grand gesture (those breathtaking scales! those arpeggios!) shows him to be a real creature of the theatre. The Sleeping Beauty Concert Suite is as infused with dance, romance and joy as any version I've heard’ (Pianist)

‘Humility and warmth marks Lim's treatmeant of the opening theme, with the 30 variations offering well over 30 different varieties of colour, texture, emotional shading and rhythmic vitality … Lim's youthful panache also serves Bach in another way, widening the sense of wonder that all great Goldberg performances need to convey’ (The Times)

‘One of the great Bach pianists of the second half of the twentieth century—I don’t think there’s any question about that … it’s just going to kill you if you’re not careful when you take it out of its box’ (The Ultimate Classical Music Guide)

‘This is a very fine disc indeed. David Hill and Ikon have shone a welcome light on an underappreciated part of Herbert Howells’ output … their singing is polished, full of vitality and the ensemble is expertly balanced. In David Hill they couldn’t have a better guide to this repertoire. In summary, the performances are ideal … if you love Howells’ music but are less familiar with his secular choral pieces you will find this CD very rewarding indeed’ (MusicWeb International)
