„Der britische Pianist Martin Roscoe, der auch schon die beiden Klavierkonzerte Ernö Dohnányis mit dem BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra eingespielt hat, verleiht dieser Musik dennoch einen betont romantischen Gestus. Die brillanten Läufte lässt er hervorsprudeln, als hätte er Virtuosenstücke Franz Liszt auf dem Notenpult“ (Piano News, Germany)» More

'Walton's taste, discretion and romantic warmth, fused with a lightness of touch, serve as a reminder that it was in the poise and purity of 18th-century music that Tchaikovsky—as he told an uncomprehending Mme von Meck—found solace from life's woes' (Gramophone)

'Hough evita il sentimentalismo, che per il pubblico di Grieg era un valore, non un disvalore' (Musica, Italy)» More

‘The Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra with their versatile conductor and pianist Howard Shelley have unearthed so many Romantic piano concertos that one fears they'll run out. Luckily not! Here the less-than-original Henri Herz is treated with as much gravitas as his fellow composer and friend Chopin might be. Herz's showy crowd-pleasers are played with such elegance and security that they sound better than they are’ (Pianist)» More

‘Herz's talent … lay not in profundity but in pleasing the crowds, and he did that exceptionally well … Shelley by turns charms and dazzles … unless your doctor has prescribed some strict froth-free diet (and how tedious would that be) I can heartily recommend a dose of Herz’ (Gramophone)

'Cleobury is on peak form. Clearly he has had the music in his fingers and feet for many years: one is left with the sense that all problems were solved long ago … and of course, the King's College organ is 'his' instrument. He exploits its full resources with taste, discernment and piquancy' (Gramophone)

„Vor einem Jahr hatte sich die kanadische Pianistin und Bach-Spezialistin Angela Hewitt im Anschluss an ihre 14-teilige Einspielung von Klavierwerken Bachs bei Hyperion noch einmal intensiv der 'Kunst der Fuge' zugewandt. Nun also folgen die große h-Moll-Sonate, die Dante-Sonate und drei Petrarca-Sonetten von Liszt in einer Interpretation, die in ihrer Ruhe und Strenge mit Hewitts Bach-Interpretationen in vielfacher Weise verwandt ist“ (Piano News, Germany)» More

‘Gerald Finley brings his fine sense of drama and theatre to these songs … [and] he easily alters tonal color to suggest authority, intimacy or despair’ (Opera Canada, Canada)» More

‘The rapport between Finley and Drake feels like twin-souls working together. Excellent recording, excellent liner notes by Susan Young. Couldn’t be better’ (MusicWeb International)» More

‘Grieg's Cello Sonata encompasses a wide-ranging emotional landscape, to which Steven Isserlis and Stephen Hough, a magnificent partnership, respond with big-hearted playing’ (The Strad)» More

„Ja, man fühlt sich fast an das Spiel eines Barock Orchesters erinnert, wenn man eine Sonate wie die B-Dur-Sonate KV 333 von ihm hört. Dabei ist nichts schwerfällig, sondern aufgrund der stupenden Technik des Pianisten alles von einer charmanten Leichtigkeit durchwirkt, die Mozarts Schreibweise zu einem neuen Erlebnis werden lässt“ (Piano News, Germany)» More

‘It's difficult to resist the spine-tingling monumentalism of the performance’ (BBC Music Magazine)» More
