‘This recording—the only one currently available to feature Steibelt’s concertos—reveals an imaginative style that relies on virtuoso solo playing and effect-laden orchestration which delighted contemporary audiences’ (Classical Ear)» More

'Als componist schreef Steibelt zeven klavierconcerten en zowat 46 sonates. Hij tekende ook voor opera’s, maar die werden na zijn dood nog amper opgevoerd. Enkel zijn pianowerk overleefde min of meer … de Britse pianist Howard Shelley haalt het van onder het stof en presenteert hier drie even bevallige als typische pianoconcerto’s' (Kerk & Leven, Belgium)» More

«Le jeune violoniste anglais Jack Liebeck continue (avec le BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra) à explorer I'œuvre de Max Bruch. C'est au concerto le plus connu du musicien qu'il s'attaque: le premier en la mineur. Il en offre une version assez sobre qui ne plaira peut-être pas à ceux qui aiment justement l'aspect très romantique de l'œuvre… Mais c'est surtout pour I'agréable découverte de la Serenade en la mineur et la Romance en sol mineur qu'on recommande ce CD. Des 'petites' œuvres bien agréables» (L'Avenir, Belgium)

‘Returning to the piece more than 25 years after his first recording, Isserlis is a little brisker this time in the last two movements, and digs a bit deeper throughout … he wears his heart on his sleeve in his playing’ (Daily Mail)» More

‘The Ex Cathedra choir are on top form. This would be worth seeing in a live performance—I would think there would be many possibilities for imaginative staging’ (AndrewBensonWilson.org)

«Joués et dirigés de main de maitre par Howard Shelley, les trois concertos réunis ici datent de 1799, 1802 et même 1816, et on est plus près dans le panache de Weber ou Chopin que des concertos de Mozart ou même de Beethoven» (La Libre Culture, Belgium)» More

‘The playing is absolutely first class, not only in terms of technique, and Vlaeva consummately brings great power to the table when called for, while still ready to produce the most delicate pianissimo when needed’ (MusicWeb International)» More

‘This is one of the most satisfying recordings this now much loved work has received. Isserlis’s admiration for the piece is conveyed, not just in his playing, with the Philharmonia under Paavo Järvi, but also in a vigorous liner note, which makes much of the fiasco of the first performance’ (Classic FM)» More

‘In this final volume of Hyperion’s Arts and Humanities Council-sponsored project, Potter and his fellow tenors give— alone or together, and with polished control—11 examples of the apparently infinitely flexible medieval song form. When most pieces consist of only a single musical line, refinement and intimacy are the bywords of this set’ (The Sunday Times)
