‘This recent recording of two popular concertos is a delight. Stephen Hough is one of the most convincing romantic pianists performing today and he is coupled with the CBSO in sterling form under Andris Nelsons. I am only sorry I did not get to hear them live’ (Lark Reviews)

Studio Master: CDA68122  2CDs for the price of 1  Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available

‘Can we have too many recordings of Haydn’s chamber music? When we get performances like these it is hard to argue against them. The Op 50 Prussian Quartets are played in from the Artaria edition of 1787 which gives them something of an edge over other recordings’ (Lark Reviews)
