Reviews

'With so much good playing and such obvious musicality, this young pianist makes an auspicious debut.'

'Boesch has a talent for personal interpretation, which he exhibits here, making the music sound absolutely fresh ... In sum, this recital is as close to ideal as any I’ve encountered and is a must-listen for lovers of Lieder.'

'Trpčeski radiates charisma in both works, sounding dazzling and assertive. His treatment of the slow movements is touchingly poetic ... I can offer an unqualified recommendation.'

'... the ensemble manages to maintain the tension at all times and to make the complex structure shine through. Not least thanks to a critical analysis of the sources, many things appear excitingly new and yet convincing at all times.'

'Accustomed to Egarr's achievements at the helm of the Academy of Ancient Music ... this four-hand disc reaffirms his mastery of music that crosses the threshold of the 1800s, as well as his admirable rapport with Nepomnyashchaya ...'

Diapason d'or: 'Brilliant throughout, daring, sensual, Le Consort delights us ... A beautiful "Venetian mirror", whose multiple reflections always lead the eye to a new horizon.'

Choc de l'année: 'This new version is "at the top of the discography". Leonardo García Alarcòn is, as usual, colourful, lively and stylish.'

'At the end of this listening session, we will remember the radiance of a Parisian singer in beauty within a largely Italian team: let's bet that Rossini would have enjoyed this high-flying transalpine dialogue.'

Critics' Choice & Best Engineering: 'The last movement is large in scale and full of propulsive force – really awesome!'
