Reviews

'Devos's lovely, light soprano, beautiful throughout its range, grows especially enrapturing when she tempers her voice to a silver thread ... the beauty of it all will sweep you away.'

'What we have is a shrewdly chosen sequence of arias that are far from being the most familiar among Handel’s output, but show his imaginative genius in every bar ... a release that gives nothing but pleasure.'

'This album is a beautifully framed tribute. An album full of poetry, melancholy and farewell ... Josephine Lang, never forget her.'

'Their Haydn sounds fresh, dynamic and spirited, and in the concluding "Rider" Quartet they almost let the horses run wild. The CD proves that classical music and folklore, played with such passion and virtuosity, go wonderfully together.'

Choice: 'Vox Luminis makes itself heard and known (not for the first time) as an ensemble that goes in search of the real beauty and depth of early music. For an audience of yesterday, today and tomorrow.'

Record of the Week: '[A] beautifully touching performance ... the recording seems to glow with the same graceful sincerity as the performances.'

It's a revelation ... new things seem to emerge from the music ... They are effortless, ethereal and so revealing, these performances. Can’t get enough of them.' 

'Pilsan’s very personal view of things, his excellent playing technique and a superb, very transparent and natural recording quality, make this Well-Tempered Clavier a good 100 minutes of witty and inspiring entertainment.'

'First and foremost, Willis is a stunning musician and player. So the actual playing on this disc, alongside violinist Kotowa Machida and pianist Philip Mayers, is quite gorgeous.'
