'Beautifully recorded and consummately played, this stunning collection of chamber music by Kress, Telemann and CPE Bach, is one of my discs of 2006' (Classic FM Magazine)

‘Jeremy West is a wonderful performer with an astonishing technique and remarkable ornamentation skills’ (American Record Guide)

‘Virtuoso playing such as this is not to be taken for granted. The whole of the generously timed and excellently recorded program provides an exhilarating experience’ (Fanfare, USA)

‘Outstanding’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘Abandon yourself to the brilliant and expressive playing of Jeremy West’ (Early Music Today)

'Whitacre achieves a disarming memorability with the simplest of means, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if his cycle, scored for soprano, violin and piano, gains considerable popularity. Israeli Aharon Harlap's 'Tehillim' has a rhapsodic grandeur that is strongly reminiscent of Bloch while fellow Israeli composer Sharon Farber's 'Bridges of Love', conceived on a more extended scale, is not quite so distinctive even though it's performed here with great emotion' (BBC Music Magazine)» More

‘Listen to these wonderfully melodramatic, mostly Victorian ballads by candlelight in a haunted house … performances full of raging fortissimos and ghoulish tremolandos from Finley and his pianist Julius Drake’ (The Times)

‘Finley, who has one of those exquisite voices that could make poetry of the telephone directory, vividly characterises the words without recourse to the exaggerated enunciation … Drake uses all the colouristic forces he can command with wit (The Flea), bravura (Erlkönig and Wolf's spellbinding Der Feurreiter) and imagination (Loewe's Die wandelnde Glocke). As these pages have said before, it's a great partnership’ (Gramophone)

‘A new idea for the anthology disc: here is Gerald Finley, in his vocal prime, as balladeer—telling tales of misadventure and gothic horror … Finley is a fine tale-teller. In Loewe, he sounds as though he's singing just for you, the listener, so rapt and intense is his communication’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘Drake's playing has successfully suited the varied repertoire. Finley has enthralled with his interpretations and delighted with his singing purely as singing, combining the two expertly. If I were a reviewer who seems to think that it is mandatory to nominate a CD as outstanding each month I might consider proposing this well-recorded issue’ (International Record Review)

‘A thoroughly engaging programme of forgotten music all played with skill and real charm and excellently recorded’ (The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs)

‘This collection of lesser-known works is very enjoyable and Thea King's playing is excellent throughout’ (BBC Music Magazine)
