‘In this well recorded, presented and imaginatively conceived issue we see again just how well Hyperion can produce the goods! It is a particular pleasure to see this issue on the market’ (CDReview)

‘Even more attractive than its predecessor’ (Gramophone)

‘A treasure trove for the explorer’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘As in the previous volumes, Peter Jacobs shows himself to be fluent, clean-fingered, elegantly delicate where required, and able to invest the music with fine nuances of tone and pace—an ideal interpreter of Chaminade’ (Gramophone)

‘A particularly beautiful performance of the Poème by Graffin in the world premiere recording of the chamber version’ (The Guardian)

‘This is one of the most beautiful discs of chamber music I have ever heard. In every respect it is sheer perfection, the young French violinist, Philippe Graffin, playing with a passion you may be fortunate enough to hear once in your life’ (Yorkshire Post)

‘Philippe Graffin’s solo violin and Pascal Devoyon’s piano recreate music which, in Debussy’s words, "becomes the very feeling which inspires its emotion"’ (The Times)

‘The opulent sound of this disc is ideal for Chausson … Philippe Graffin’s sensuous unforced tone sails above the texture … [he] gives a plangent account of the solo part, with something of that sense of freedom that Ysaÿe, the work’s sponsor, would certainly have conveyed … Neidich’s playing is quite remarkable for its breadth of expression in the Andante as well as for the extraordinarily brilliantly articulated Allegro. Hoffman and Devoyon are equally convincing in the beautiful, dreamy Pièce for cello and piano’ (Gramophone)

‘A welcome successor to these artists' magnificent Hyperion [earlier Chausson recording] … the Piano Trio of 1881 receives a commanding performance—quite the finest I've heard’ (Hi-Fi News)

‘It is truly like hearing it for the first time, at least in this performance, which is far more than just technically superb’ (American Record Guide)

‘[The Poème] is a delightful work, in free form, given a provocative, tenderly phrased and sympathetic performance by Graffin and the Chilingirian … charming collection, beautifully played’ (Classic CD)

‘This really is very fine … the sense of teamwork is quite exceptional and the resulting music-making radiates an inspiring eloquence … a release no true Francophile can afford to miss’ (Hi-Fi News)
