‘Jonathan Plowright plays everything with calm, unforced assurance, nicely balancing Bach style and 1930s period manners, and making light of all the left-hand skips needed to suggest Bach's organ pedal parts. An immaculate recording and Calum MacDonald's detailed notes enhance the disc's appeal’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘There are some gems here … this is an invaluable addition to Hyperion's Bach Piano Transcriptions series and Plowright has done us an enormous service in resurrecting these transcriptions and in rendering them so eloquently’ (International Record Review)

‘Every so often a CD comes along that I simply can't stop playing. Here's one such example … glorious interpretations by Jonathan Plowright’ (The Observer)

‘As played by The King's Consort, these sonatas have a deliciously intimate and conversational quality that is very difficult to achieve at the organ … both playing and sound are stunning. If you love Bach's instrumental chamber music you must hear this disc. If you are an organist you may never think of these pieces in quite the same way again’ (American Record Guide)

‘A marvellous way of getting to know the ins and outs of six superb examples of Bach's contrapuntal craft’ (Gramophone)

«Un véritable petit bijou» (Répertoire, France)

‘An impressive combination of enterprising arrangements with outstanding musicianship. On all counts this is an outstanding release’ (Classic CD)

‘Admirable agility, clean articulation and perfectly true intonation, and everywhere her technique is impressive … she continually looks to the beauty of the music … the sound quality is fabulous’ (The Strad)

‘Ibragimova's combination of intelligence and intuition, vulnerability and steel on display in this new set will surely prove revelatory … she makes familiar works sound both spontaneously conceived and inevitable’ (The New York Times)

‘Ibragimova comes of age with this superb set … this is a violinist of interpretative maturity and thrilling spark’ (The Daily Telegraph)

‘Alina Ibragimova is a player of great musical imagination and intelligence and this—combined with superb technique—produces some exceptional results in her new recording of the Bach Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin … this set reveals a Bach player of real stature … warmly recommended’ (International Record Review)

‘Young, excellent and serious, this 24-year old violinist plays with a maturity far beyond her years. In this two-CD set she's right inside the music, whether Bach calls for roaring fire or the tenderest melancholy’ (The Times)
