‘Here are two long-neglected piano concertos that will thrill and delight you … Stephen Hough’s playing of it confirms his place as one of the half dozen greatest piano technicians of our time … Hyperion’s Romantic Piano Concerto survey has never had a more distinguished protagonist than Stephen Hough’ (Fanfare, USA)
‘Such an impressive work—why haven't we heard it before? … Scatlatti's take on the story of David and Goliath is as dramatic as any early opera and it receives a performance to do it justice here’ (MusicWeb International)
‘De Marchi knows exactly how to keep things moving, and his performers are first class … especially memorable is David's prayer 'Tu mihi supernum aeterne rex', which provides Invernizzi with an opportunity to soar celestially above flowing musical lines, in one of Scarlatti's most inspired melodic creations, a shining oasis of calm in the midst of pugnacious full-textured activity’ (International Record Review)
‘This is Academia Montis Regalis's third and most convincing Italian Baroque oratorio recording for Hyperion, and a fine addition to the elder Scarlatti's discography’ (Gramophone)
'Highly recommended for contemporary music audiences, students of world music and virtuoso performers interested in new experiences in collaboration' (AllMusic, USA)» More
‘There is a meaty flamboyance to both these concertos, giving them a personality of their own. Seta Tanyel brings to them an impressive strength of purpose and a rhapsodic lyrical spirit that project the music with appealing panache’ (The Daily Telegraph)
‘An admirable addition to an admirable series. The recordings retain their original excellence and Tadeusz Strugula and the German orchestra back their stylish soloist to the hilt’ (Gramophone)
‘Seta Tanyel plays her well-contrasted selection with obvious affection and persuasive charm … playing of outstanding drive and verve’ (International Record Review)
