'Clearly Aaron Pilsan is a pianist worth watching. Is Book II in the cards?'

'Via Byzantine intonations, an anointing 'Kyrie' by Ludwig Senfl and guttural chants by Giacinto Scelsi, La Tempête floats to the whispered closing words of John Tavener's 'Song for Athens', with which the door to eternity closes again.'

'Lucile Boulanger plays the viola da gamba with intensity and emotion.'

'Sensual transparency and a precise feeling for the musical characters characterise his playing - the best prerequisites for this multi-faceted old master programme.'

'A perfection that astonishes, and which at the same time extends to the balanced, rich sound of the recording made in the Vienna Konzerthaus. Here, all those involved spent an audibly long time fine-tuning every detail.'

'This epic project will form a vital legacy: brilliant performances, historically informed ... Haydn brings joy and variety as no other.'

'This is something that challenges our listening habits, bringing new colours to a work that we thought we knew by heart.'

'The English Concert and Harry Bicket do full justice to this masterpiece.'

Best of 2022: 'In many ways, the composer’s four-part music is his most miraculous, moving with mesmerising inevitability, every note seemingly in its natural place. Phantasm have rescued Jenkins from obscurity with playing of lucidity and boundless expressiveness.'
