‘Shaham impresses in all aspects of these sonatas. His manner is fiery, his tone is full-bodied from a top of great purity to a bottom deep and resonant, and he tosses off the virtuoso passages with aplomb. Erez is a full partner, sometimes coming close to usurping the lead, which can be all to the good here. He roams the keyboard with assurance, playing with crisp exactitude and full-bodied tone’ (Classics Today)

‘Mix Bartók, Debussy and a dash of Lisztian bravado and you'll get something very close to Bloch's folksong-inflected, post-Romantic sound-world. Intoxicating performances guaranteed to set the pulse racing’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘Played with lean intensity and dead-centre intonation reminiscent of the young Heifetz, these neglected works come fizzing off the page to mesmerising effect’ (Classic FM Magazine)

‘With fine engineering, realistically balanced, and excellent annotation, this is a digital front-runner’ (Gramophone)

‘The programme is delightful and the choir excellent … this has to be one of the strongest winners of the choral award in recent years’ (Gramophone)
