Brahms & Bruckner: Motets
Studio Master: SIGCD430  Download only  Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available

'Tenebrae score on all counts. They submit with impressive stamina and unfailing intonation to Bruckner’s instrumental scoring and phrasing, which take little account of singers’ requirements for rest and oxygen' (Gramophone)

Studio Master: CDA67895  Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available

‘To music that all too often leaves one rudderless and gasping for air in wave after wave of opulently ambivalent harmony, Hough brings orientation and direction without sacrificing sensuality or mystical aura. He accomplishes this through an almost uncanny variety of touch, tone production and judicious pedalling’ (Gramophone)

Weber: Piano Concertos
CDA66729

‘This is a splendid and varied disc of Christmas music. The performances by the Choir of Trinity College are superb from start to finish. Not only is the singing immaculate at all times but in the more extrovert numbers the choir demonstrates a palpable sense of enjoyment. No fewer than ten members of the choir feature as soloists, often on more than one occasion. Without exception they deliver their solos marvellously’ (MusicWeb International)» More

‘Steven Isserlis has been one of the world’s leading cellists for a generation and seems artistically incapable of playing a dud note, let alone giving a dud performance … these two works are ideal companions. Here, Isserlis conveys the tension and neurasthenic anxiety of the outer movements as graphically as anyone’ (Limelight, Australia)» More
