'But the intensity and power, the tension in the tone, this unstoppable pull forward, this athleticism of Kerson Leong - even the hardened critic holds his breath and is amazed at how the violinist, as if nothing could happen to him, continues to work his way up.'

‘The Maxwell Quartet: keep this name in mind … it won’t cease to be talked about.’

Album Choice: 'The Kremerata playing is wonderful, solo strings alternating in Op. 131 with greater intimacy than in the last Quartet.'

'Virtuosic, yet just as sublime in its naturalness.'

Choice: '... glowing and passionate interpretations, with a nice balance between poetry and elegance.'

'The Koffler arrangement is revelatory, and adds a new dimension of understanding and appreciation to the original masterpiece.'

Album of the Month: 'Ksenija Sidorova shows that she does not stand still as a classical musician, but takes on new perspectives ... the time spent listening flies by.'

'Lang, a disciple of Mendelssohn who knew her Schubert and Schumann, is a more than worthwhile discovery on this evidence.' 

‘The Scottish songs, of great beauty, quickly turn from wistfulness to dance, this is an experience not to be missed.’
