'The King's performance [of the Parry] is predictably idiomatic, if a touch carefully preened and respectful … [Ireland's] is a more explicitly dramatic setting, and the singers seem to relish this … Parker Ramsay's organ accompaniment is a model of intelligent supportiveness' (BBC Music Magazine)

Ysaÿe: Sonatas for solo violin
Studio Master: CDA67993  Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available

‘The new Alina Ibragimova CD of the Six Sonatas for Solo Violin by Eugène Ysaÿe … is another simply outstanding solo disc. This is the fifth CD of these amazing works that I have received in the past four years or so, and Ibragimova’s is probably the biggest name of the five. She always plays with fire and passion, and her technique is astonishing; nothing in these fiendishly difficult works seems to give her the slightest problem. It’s a truly marvellous disc’ (The Whole Note, Canada)
