'The organ sounds wonderful, with all the shimmer and shudder that a High Victorian organ should have. Difficult to capture, but Signum has done a pretty good job' (BBC Music Magazine)» More

'About £1.7m has been spent on refurbishing this illustrious instrument, and it sounds wonderful in Preston's performances of a repertoire designed to show off its versatility' (The Sunday Times)» More

‘Brass fans get an engaging, well played program that offers a blend of the familiar and the pleasing new, and makes for an easy recommendation’ (Fanfare, USA)

'Given that they've been around almost as long as Elizabeth II, a Jubilee album from the King's Singers is inevitable. Pristinely sung, if starchily interpreted, the selection comprises a predictable trawl through Tudor and Elizabethan partsongs, and a less predictable choice of Victoriana, including the unintentionally hilarious Waiter Parratt. The six Choral Dances from Britten's Gloriana are suavely delivered, but KS fans will probably buy this recording for Paul Drayton's A Rough Guide to the Royal Succession, a 12-minute pastiche that romps through 1,000 years of kings and queens' (The Times)

‘Lovers of Hyperion's Romantic Piano Concerto series will snap up this 67th volume by reflex. Those new to the series will be won over when they hear the formidable Jonathan Plowright tackle these original compositions’ (Pianist)» More

'Dat maakte dat hij nooit internationaal doordrong, ook al schreef hij interessant werk, zoals deze twee pianoconcerto’s die onlangs door het BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra werden ingeblikt. Dirigent is de (net zoals de componist in Warschau geboren) Łukasz Borowicz' (Kerk & Leven, Belgium)» More

«Dans les trois œuvres, Lawrence Power, ancien lauréat du Concours international William Primrose et membre du célèbre Nash Ensemble, se montre à la hauteur, Il est habilement secondé par le très jeune chef israelien Ilan Volkov» (Le Monde de la Musique, France)

‘Both Power’s assured technique, and his tone—rich and grainy in its lower register, clear at the top—serves the character of all three works well, and Ilan Volkov and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra give him sympathetic support in the two concertos’ (Classical Source)

‘Lawrence Power seems to be recording his entire repertoire, which is good news for viola lovers. William Walton's Viola Concerto was his best work, displaying all the features of his compositional skill, including a delightfully rhythmic central Scherzo’ (Daily Mail)

‘Sumptuous playing from Lawrence Power … an excellent opportunity to savour the depth and richness of this Cinderella instrument’ (The Observer)

‘Lawrence Power is just that extra bit special, investing the work's tantalising vein of underlying nostalgia with an eloquence that perhaps only a true viola player can bring … Power seems, if anything, even more attuned to Rubbra's espressivo cool, illuminating the Concerto's neo-Romantic gestures with finely judged and restrained intensity. Yet it is the hypnotic concentration of the solo Meditations on a Byzantine Hymn that lingers longest in the memory here, enhanced by luxurious, velvet-toned engineering’ (The Strad)

‘Power's radiant tone and electrifying power of projection make no apology for the robustness of both works. He captures the mercurial expression of the Walton brilliantly, its short scherzo bristling with nerve-tingling zest, its melancholic undertones tinged with an airiness that avoids sentimentality. Under Ilan Volkov, the SSO (in Walton's original, fuller version of the score) offers pungent support and nimble urgency in equal measure’ (The Scotsman)
