Moszkowski: Piano Concerto Op 3„Ludmil Angelov, der nicht nur für seine Aufnahme der Rondos und Variationen von Chopin hochgelobt wurde, ist in dieser Ersteinspielung ein Virtuose vor dem Herrn. Seine energische Grundhaltung, seine sprudelnde Spontaneität, aber auch seine Eleganz sind in vieler Hinsicht wohl am besten mit Martha Argerich vergleichbar“ (Piano News, Germany)

Dove: For an unknown soldier & An airmail letter from Mozart'Dove has a profound feel for literature as well as a protean compositional talent … [his] matchless experience of writing community operas is evident in the way that choirs of young children, older children (Portsmouth Grammar School) and adults (Oxford Bach Choir) are each given a distinct strand of the narrative … Nicky Spence is wonderfully tender in the tenor solos … it’s a marvellously atmospheric work and should be heard' (The Times)
