‘Sweet melody coupled with passages of virtuosic fire, underpinned with graceful, discreet orchestral writing’ (The Observer)

‘Shaham and the BBC Scottish Symphony (at their most sparkling and sensitive under Martyn Brabbins) play with supreme virtuoso ease throughout … played like this, these concertos constantly delight with their deft invention. Exemplary sound too’ (Classic FM Magazine)

‘David's slow movements are especially appealing … but you can turn almost anywhere here to find unreserved melodic delight … Hagai Shaham's playing is sweetness itself, and he's secure in every technical detail … under Martyn Brabbins' alert direction, the BBC Scottish players impart a refreshing clarity to David's Mendelssohnian orchestral writing, their attentiveness supported in Andrew Keener's transparent recording … in short, this disc offers an hour of unremitting pleasure which you would be daft to deny yourself’ (International Record Review)

'This is music for when you simply want to enjoy music. This is a disc for anyone who avoids contemporary music because they think that it’s all dissonant and angry. I'd even say that it's an album that would be appreciated by those who don't like classical music' (MusicWeb International)» More

‘Strongly recommended’ (Fanfare, USA)

‘Gethsemani … contains some of the loveliest orchestral sounds I have heard in years. If you have made a resolution to buy only one CD this month you should make it this one’ (International Record Review)

‘All three works programmed here are lusciously scored … you couldn’t hope for a better played, or more richly recorded, trio of performances’ (Gramophone)

‘La notte di Plàton is an exciting and rich work that makes use of unique orchestral writing to procure a striking, almost primitive effect … Gethsemeni is a poem of lush and startling beauty. The performances, under the baton of Aldo Ceccato, are superb. A fantastic disc that cannot be recommended highly enough’ (Music Teacher)

‘Lush textures in lucid orchestration, with exquisite melodies supported by warm, summer-night harmonies. A real discovery’ (Punch)

‘This is the luxuriant but richly evocative and eventful music of a born orchestrator. A discovery, thrillingly performed by Ceccato and the LPO’ (The Sunday Times)

‘Well worth exploring’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘Hyperion once again has us in its debt with its recovery of scores long lost from view … immensely attractive as well as impressively written. I am in no doubt that they deserve to be in the regular repertoire’ (The Times)
