‘Few will be able to resist Hanslip's deliciously coquettish handling of the rondo movements of both concertos’ (Gramophone)

‘The acrobatics which Vieuxtemps puts her through are not just surmounted, with double-stops impeccably crafted even at speed, but are meaningfully phrased with a variety of tone and dynamics. She also finds character in the lyrical Adagio, and the more playful Rondo Finale, with its swaggering main theme … I really feel a smile coming out of the loudspeakers’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘The orchestra is beautifully balanced and recorded, Martyn Brabbins's direction is alert to Vieuxtemps's delicate romanticism as well as his grand theatrical gestures, and Viviane Hagner … is a most resourceful and spirited advocate … occasionally, too, her account is technically superior, for instance in the hair-raising, slithering diminished-seventh chords in No 4's finale’ (Gramophone)

‘Viktor Merzhanov finds in Liszt's Paganini Etudes a jaunty, playful vein … his Scriabin is incandescent’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘The interpretations are passionate … and what a voice … Gomez is equal to the best who came before her. Her light, agile, soaring voice rises ecstatically above the massed cellos’ dusky rain-forest wall of sound like the brilliant plumage of some rare Amazonian bird-in-flight … thoroughly captivating’ (American Record Guide)

‘The whole disc is a bright feather in the Corydon cap’ (Organists' Review)
