‘This is a Dona nobis pacem to rival the best, even better recorded than other versions, with an interesting new work thrown in’ (MusicWeb International)» More

‘[Stephen Hough's] expertly curated collection of Grieg Lyric Pieces abounds with individual touches, yet the interpretations couldn’t sound more natural or inevitable’ (Classics Today)» More

‘What a power of good this recording has done me on a dank, rather dispiriting weekend. There’s so much light and warmth here—helped in no small measure by stand-out sonics—that even those who don’t normally gravitate to the organ will surely find something to savour. Herrick’s liner-notes effervesce with enthusiasm, and it’s that youthful vigour and sense of bright enquiry that underpins so much of his music-making. Long may it continue. Fine playing, a noble instrument and a superb recording; fans of Mr Herrick will love this one’ (MusicWeb International)» More

‘To elevate Grieg's tiny masterpieces, we need a craftsman like Stephen Hough. Some of Hough's first recordings were of miniatures and were always polished to perfection … a good example on this new disc is the 'Wedding day at Troldhaugen', a little showpiece that Hough turns into a concentrated musical poem, beaming with pianistic colouring and rhythm zest’ (Pianist)» More

'McCreesh's direction is both alert and expressive, and his soloists are very fine. Gillian Webster shines in Penseroso's famous nightingale aria, Sweet Bird, and in the only duet in which mirth and melancholy come together—the sublime As steals the morn, one of Handel's greatest hits' (The Sunday Times)» More

'This is a clean, uncluttered account featuring crystalline voices, good diction, safe tempos and well-defined phrasing … best of all is Rachael Lloyd’s dignified Dido, rich-voiced, poetic and flawlessly delivered' (The Guardian)» More

‘[Stephen Hough's] playing of the Lyric Pieces has an aristocratic refinement with his control of the minute ebb-and-flow of his sound being a pleasure in itself’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘Coote demonstrates the sexiest quality any singer can possess: complete attention to the text … pianist Graham Johnson … identifies the difference between moonlight, candlelight and sunlight. As a sequence, it is brilliantly programmed’ (BBC Music Magazine)» More

‘Shelley has the ideal touch and tone for Mendelssohn: fleet-fingered, light and clear, with a fine balance between the energy and élan of this often very busy music and the clarity of its elegant melodic lines and supremely civilised phrasing. This match of performer and composer slides smoothly and smilingly into place from the start’ (BBC Music Magazine)» More

'Fresh, engaging performances of works spanning the church year, from a choir moving swiftly up the Oxbridge pecking order. The Rorem and MacMillan pieces get especially fine performances' (BBC Music Magazine)

'Come ho già comentato in sede di recensione dei due dischi precedent, una integrale discografica di un autore come Dohnányi, pianist e compositore vissuto nell’epoca d’oro del virtuosismo post-romantico, dovrà risultare necessariamente assai generosa' (Musica, Italy)» More

'The airy acoustic of the chapel coupled with the fine Harrison & Harrison (mostly) organ help to define a peculiarly and uniquely English sound, especially suited to the repertoire on this fine disc … this is King's playing to its considerable strengths at all levels' (Gramophone)
