‘Hyperion here continues its smart 'Arias for …' thematic programming with this tribute to Benucci and has wisely chosen Matthew Rose to convincingly channel the spirit of the original … his musicanship is impeccable, but most importantly he sings ‘on the words’ with subtle changes of colour and emphasis so that the expression is carried across to us with no need for the visuals’ (Limelight, Australia)» More

„Alina Ibragimova und das Ensemble Arcangelo lassen dank reizvoller Werkauswahl Bachsche Solokonzerte zum neuen Hörerlebnis werden. Die kammermusikalisch orientierte Herangehensweise konfrontiert das Ohr mit erfrischend Ungewohntem“ (Klassik.com, Germany)» More

‘It's no surprise, perhaps, that Steven Isserlis's latest reading of the Elgar concerto should be special: this is a long-loved, lived-in interpretation in which every superfluity has been scoured away leaving only an extraordinarily pure line of expression’ (BBC Music Magazine)» More

‘Both the pianist Jonathan Plowright and conductor Łukasz Borowicz are champions of neglected Polish music and this disc's place in Hyperion's Romantic Piano Concerto series makes it self-recommending’ (BBC Music Magazine)» More

‘This excellently recorded disc is outstanding. In her detailed essay Hewitt intimates a wish to issue further volumes. Wonderful news!’ (BBC Music Magazine)» More

‘One thing that immediately leaps out is the use of some quite extensive ornamentation – not merely mordents and so forth, but brillante scalic flourishes leading into cadences … the range of colours Goode draws from the Trinity College Cambridge chapel organ is also impressive … Bach's compositional genius is shown in the best possible light by Goode's thoughtful performances’ (Presto Classical)

„Łukasz Borowicz geht sehr maßvoll, sehr ernsthaft mit dem musikalischen Material um. Die Musik wirkt bei ihm sehr schlank, frei von Pathos und schwerer Süße, aber auch von allen Äußerlichkeiten. Auch Plowrights Spiel zeigt Różyckis fantasievolle Schreibweise großartig auf“ (Pizzicato, Luxembourg)» More

‘Arcangelo plays with a lute and harpsichord continuo, but it’s the lute that predominates in the balance here, giving the performances a soft, warm background that provides a perfect setting for Ibragimova’s sensitive interpretations … her imaginative playing is full of sensitive phrasing and dynamics’ (The Whole Note, Canada)

„Fitzenhagen muss ein sensationeller Cellist gewesen sein, die beiden Cellokonzerte und die Ballade sind gespickt mit technischen Höchstschwierigkeiten. Zwar sind diese Werke mehr als pures Virtuosengeklingel, genießen kann man sie aber nur, wenn sie von einem Cellisten gespielt werden, der ihnen manuell voll gewachsen ist—wie Alban Gerhardt“ (Fono Forum, Germany)» More

'The choral sound is candid and transparent, the lower, adult voices sensitively balanced so as not to swamp the delicate timbre of the boy choristers. His Majestys Sagbutts and Cornetts offer flawless, vocally-inspired ensemble playing, their plangent wind instruments gleaming and glimmering like the gold mosaics in San Marco' (BBC Music Magazine)

«Cet enregistrement pour Hyperion est l'aboutissement d'une série de concerts du Pacifica Quartet avec le Canadien Marc-André Hamelin. Ils en livrent une interprétation parfaitement rodée, bénéficiant de la virtuosité insolente d'un pianiste qui s'est fait le champion des musiques oubliées du XXème siècle» (Diapason, France)» More
