Reviews

'One has the feeling of hearing one and the same instrument, with strings simultaneously bowed and plucked, whose registrations are varied.'

Critics' Choice, Recording of the Year 2021: '... sensitive playing alive to the nuances of every piece in idiomatic performances.'

'Violinist Julien Chauvin raises his concerto to the level of the best interpretations on period instruments ... With his uncluttered phrasing, deliciously golden colour and limited vibrato, he is able to deploy his range in the Adagio as well.'

'Richly lyrical and bright as starlight, Jonathan Freeman-Attwood’s outstanding playing is the ideal advocate for a ‘Mozart trumpet sonata’ and he is accompanied with flair by Anna Szałucka.'

Exceptional: 'An album of extraordinary quality ... Butt is, without a doubt, not only a great musicologist, but also one of the best Bachian conductors of the moment.'

'This is a must-hear release.'

'The Jupiter Symphony receives a strong performance ... This is a satisfying programme, admirably presented.'

'Van Mechelen phrases stylistically confidently and with great expressiveness, doing wonderful justice to the different operatic characters ... A top-class feast for the ears!'

Critics' Choice, Recording of the Year 2021: '... [a] most subtly and artfully executed recital.'
