‘Peter Donohoe … is the ideal man for such music, while the BBCSSO under Andrew Litton offers razor-sharp support. A wonderfully clear recording’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘Few pianists of any nationality could approach, let alone top, Peter Donohoe’s blistering virtuosity in these works. This is an invaluable issue for lovers of intriguing repertoire and piano-playing of pulverising mastery’ (Gramophone)

‘I found the first Litolff disc delightful, and this new release is just as captivating. Very warmly recommended’ (Fanfare, USA)

‘A delightful selection. Expertly crafted and melodically felicitous. Fine performances from an all-star cast’ (Hi-Fi News)

‘Lloyd Webber's is a voice that should be heard, and it could hardly be heard to greater advantage than [here]’ (Classic CD)

‘A miniaturist and melodist of quality. His case is argued in performances of notable distinction’ (Yorkshire Post)

‘These modest miniatures reveal a composer who was able, not only to invent memorable ideas, but to do some artful things with them. Conspicuously Ireland-like titles such as Frensham Pond evoke a summery idyllic mood. The eight songs, beautifully delivered by John Mark Ainsley, are likewise warm romantic visions of bliss’ (The Sunday Times)

‘Lôbo's glorious 8-voice Requiem is a sumptuous earful, but fellow Êvora alumnus Maghalhães knows how to turn an ear-catching detail with only five voices. Compelling nobility and sincerity all round’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘The Tallis Scholars are on superb form, the overall sound vibrant and immediate with solo sections (such as the Benedictus) providing contrast through a more introspective approach. Even if you've never heard of Lobo, or have never bought a CD of late-Renaissance polyphony before, try this one—you'll be bowled over’ (Gramophone)

‘A must for violinists of all persuasions’ (Gramophone)

‘A very warmly recommended disc’ (The Music Magazine)

‘As for the singing, I cannot praise it too highly. Florian Boesch has a warmly attractive baritone voice and his diction is first class, as is his response to the word meanings. Roger Vignoles's accompaniments, too, give great pleasure in themselves, especially in the pictorial devices which Loewe so relishes. The recording, as we expect from Hyperion, is first-class … if you are new to Loewe's music, I do urge you to try this richly rewarding CD. You won't be disappointed’ (Gramophone)
