‘Ohlsson does a brilliant job, playing each piece as if it were the most valuable masterpiece ever written. The American pianist’s engaging interpretations may be the best reason yet to give Griffes a new lease of life. This album is a valuable addition to the recorded repertoire, reminding us that the early 20th century was a remarkably creative, if not revolutionary time, in art music—even on this side of the Atlantic’ (Musical Toronto, Canada)

‘As Garrick Ohlsson's superb performances show, Griffes's piano writing is wonderfully fluent, and works like De profundis of 1915 and the Piano Sonata of two years later suggest that all the stylistic elements were finally beginning to cohere into a real musical personality’ (The Guardian)

‘Ohlsson's performances throughout are a judicious blend of absolute technical security and fantasy, giving especially appealing treatment to the single melodies that emerge occasionally from Griffes's teeming textures. With exemplary recorded sound and useful notes, this album makes a compelling case for a masterly figure in American musical history’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘Very special indeed. Hyperion's immaculate piano sound helps, too. But Ohlsson's phrasing is perfect: no exaggeration, simply rapturous harmonic textures projecting elegant melodies … all Ohlsson's much-admired distinction in the Romantic piano repertoire is on display here, and Griffes can never have sounded better’ (Gramophone)

'The Paganini etudes reveal a musician who marries precision with zest without taking any shortcuts pianistically; there is an honesty about his exalted playing, along with the dictates of clarity of articulation and voice leading' (MusicWeb International)

‘This is one of the finest Guerrero discs … Carwood has given us a program of the highest distinction … it is beyond excellent’ (Fanfare, USA)

‘This Mass, beautifully sung by The Cardinall's Musick, reflects Guerrero's soaring style’ (The Independent)

‘Since 1989, Andrew Carwood has nurtured the group to its current status as a leading exponent of Renaissance music, retaining the essential quality of individual vocal timbres that contribute to a refined, characterful mix and with a polish that is second to none … this entire disc is captivating in its fluency and expressive power’ (The Daily Telegraph)

‘This latest addition to Guerrero's discography is especially to be welcomed for his fine Mass on a motet by Thomas Crecquillon, in which one hears echoes of the style of Guerrero's near-direct contemporary, Palestrina. Like its model it is a joyful, extrovert piece, to which Andrew Carwood's singers respond with an equal measure of buoyancy and vigour’ (Gramophone)

‘Playing then of another age and time, a sheer magic beautifully presented and with outstanding transfers’ (Gramophone)

‘Gurney’s turmoil surfaces the songs in Paul Agnew’s sublime Hyperion disc’ (Classic FM Magazine)

‘If … at the very thought of hazy June fields, your eyes mist up or you feel a lump in the throat, then this record is for you. On it, the tenor Paul Agnew sings, exquisitely, 25 exquisite songs by Ivor Gurney. The songs themselves … are without exception minor miracles of controlled pathos and these performances do them more than justice’ (International Record Review)
