Dvořák & Schumann: Piano Concertos
Studio Master: CDA68099  A Stephen Hough Celebration!  Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available

‘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)

Scarlatti (D): Sonatas, Vol. 1
Studio Master: CDA67613  Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available

‘[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

‘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
