'... the fugues on this CD fascinate with bold harmonies, sometimes almost approaching Max Reger, and the original "Grande Sonate" op. 48 develops some depth, especially in the Larghetto.'

'This is an original, often compelling performance ... the whole held together by excellent recording quality.'
BBC Music Magazine
'These one-to-a-part performances are perfect for navigating the gnarly dissonances and extreme expression of Italy's controversial Renaissance great, as emotions run from ecstasy to deepest pain.'
BBC Music Magazine
'Antonini and his Basel ensemble perform them with poise, accuracy and stylistic insight.'
Gramophone
'For its first album, Trio Marie Soldat asserts a strong artistic identity, delivering a historically informed and resolutely Dionysian reading of Beethoven and Schubert.'
Classica
'Combined into a suite or sonata, the preludes, dances and fugues now exude magic, resonance and elegance under Boulanger's hands.'
Rondo
'It sounds ethereal, like a mythical tale from days of yore ... Alan Tavener presents this music with Cappella Nova not only in his usual tasteful manner, but also in a gloriously radiant manner.'
Fono Forum
'The performances themselves are undeniably excellent ... Bravi tutti.'
Gramophone
Exceptional: 'With the same freshness, this young ensemble performs this beautiful music with brilliance and attention to detail, with formidable energy and a spectacular sound that illuminates it.'
