‘If you’re coming fresh to Renaissance polyphony or to the work of this excellent ensemble then this new set is an ideal place to start. However, be warned: the purchase of Tallis Scholars recordings soon becomes addictive’ (MusicWeb International)» More

‘The three-movement Piano Quintet and String Quartet No 2 are weighty, spirited utterances in a style hard to seize as ornsteinian, but worth attention, especially when performed with such panache’ (The Sunday Times)» More

‘Both Scarlatti and Handel are most alluring. With Robin Michael's added cello on the bass line, they become real duo sonatas with discreet, though inventive and often witty, continuo harpsichord’ (BBC Music Magazine)» More

‘This fifth volume, for the most part, offers interpretations characterised by intelligent virtuosity and cultivated artistry … obviously [Angela Hewitt's] long experience with Bach is an asset here!’ (Gramophone)

‘The lovesick texts are somewhat overwrought and highly coloured to modern ears, but Bostridge is totally convincing, particularly in his wonderfully sensitive handling of the Op 96 collection. Johnson, that poet of the piano, underpins everything with just the right level of ardour—and he writes tremendous sleeve notes’ (The Observer)» More

‘The work that truly sends shivers up and down the spine in this programme is the anthem 'I Was Glad', written for the coronation of Edward VII in 1902 and sung at every coronation since It is not merely the grandeur of the piece that is so impressive but also the fact that Parry’s choral part-writing and his glorious shifts of harmony create such a stirring, vibrant, awesome majesty of sound, enhanced here by both organ and Onyx Brass’ (The Telegraph)» More

'Waley-Cohen's playing is radiant and soaring, and Watkins's pianism a model, as always, of sensitivity' (The Sunday Times)» More

‘Hough playfully captures Grieg’s kaleidoscopic moods and colors with an easy relish that’s hard to resist. If your summer didn’t include an invigorating walk among the wildflowers on the Norwegian fjords in brisk Scandinavian air, listening to this CD could be the next best thing’ (The Washington Post)» More

‘Granados’s ‘Patético’ Concerto can’t be called authentic; rather it is a thorough reconstruction from incomplete sketches and potpourri from existing piano solos, but these are convincingly organized by Melani Mestre, who is the expert and expressive soloist in all the works on this disc’ (Classical Ear)» More

‘These are well-rehearsed readings of exceptional finesse and polish. Intonation is pristine, with technique and ensemble flawless. Listening to them, I felt no sense of routine, but freshness and spontaneity throughout. These are idiomatic, inspirational and persuasive accounts, which set the bar high … lovers of Renaissance polyphony shouldn’t hesitate to acquire this’ (MusicWeb International)» More
