‘All in all, Isserlis’s is the most trenchant and tasteful account of the Elgar to have come my way since Paul Watkins’s with Andrew Davis and the BBC Philharmonic … an unmissable release’ (Gramophone)

‘Some of Stephen Hough's greatest triumphs are to be found in Hyperion's wondrous Romantic Piano Concerto series. In a sense he has returned to that territory with the Dvorak Concerto, a work heinously neglected after it was condemned as being unpianistic … Andris Nelsons and the CBSO clearly relish the symphonic nature of the piece and their playing is one of the great pleasures here’ (Gramophone)

‘[Hewitt's] notes are as intelligent and insightful as her playing, drawing upon the opinions and practices of others who have analysed or played this music in the past. She comes to her own conclusions about each piece, demonstrating a lifetime of sensitive reflection and performance of this music, and that personality shines through in every track. She indicates her desire to make further recordings of Scarlatti—let us hope that we do not have to wait long’ (MusicWeb International)» More

‘These are pieces well-worth getting to know. They are thoroughly well-served by the performers and the production values and also by Roger Nichols’s enlightening booklet note’ (Classical Source)» More

'It’s attractive, without ever being too comfortable, and backward looking. It’s very cleverly scored for large orchestra, and will give much pleasure' (Classic FM)» More

‘Hewitt's performances are thoughtfully phrased, polished in tone, and rhythmically precise with a modicum of rubato, and she is alert to the subtleties that make this music so beguiling … highly recommended’ (AllMusic, USA)» More

'Once you get used to the close recording and the King’s Singers’ distinctive ‘barbershop’ sound, these performances are highly enjoyable, benefiting from the singers’ diffident and yet expressive approach' (Early Music Review)» More

‘Why these brilliant, melodically rich Lalo trios do not appear more often in concert remains the Sphinx’s very own riddle’ (Audiophile Audition, USA)

‘Mr Plowright is fully able to deal with the fiendish sounding technical demands in these interesting works and equally at home with the more peaceful sections … this is another splendid Romantic Piano Concerto disc from Hyperion’ (MusicWeb International)» More

‘Stephen Hough in all his brilliance is certainly a pianist to be heard unaccompanied. With about 50 albums under his belt, this latest is a must-have for piano lovers’ (Limelight, Australia)» More

„Die Solisten sind gut gewählt und beeindrucken mit einem affektreichen Singen, das diese Musik nicht nur verträgt, sondern geradezu verlangt. Auch der Ex Cathedra-Chor mitsamt Instrumentalensemble ist tadellos“ (Pizzicato, Luxembourg)» More
