‘Key to The Orlando Consort’s success is the keen vocal blend between all four voices, aided by the wonderfully pure and clean tone of countertenor Matthew Venner, whose voice is always fully integrated with, rather than sitting on top of, the voices of his colleagues’ (AndrewBensonWilson.org)

„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)

‘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)

Herz: Piano Concerto No 2 & other works
Studio Master: CDA68100  Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available

‘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
