Reviews

'Very few Bruckner outings compel from start to finish, but this one does. It marks out Paavo Järvi as one of our greatest living Bruckner interpreters.'

'Oliemans and his pianist, Malcolm Martineau, demonstrate their conviction at every turn: these are serious, intelligent performances.'

'This album is also a revelation for the music of Antonius Gosswin ... This is superb music, beautifully sung.'

'[Oliemans] wins through, however, on strength of character and emotional intelligence, injecting a fine energy through the detail, diction and pacing of each song.'

Editor's Choice: 'What a thought provoking way to crown 40 years of excellence joined by Barbara Hannigan and Bertrand Chamayou as guests, the Emersons sound as vital at the end as they did the start of their acclaimed career.'

Editor's Choice: 'Heide’s playing is full of subtle shades and pointed details ... Krimmel’s voice, meanwhile, is ideally suited to the interpretation.'

'The sound is light, transparent and dance-like ... A "Sunday morning baroque", in which one can enjoy Bach's magnificent music in a new sound garment.'

'The result is a treat ... This whole disc is so happy that it'd be churlish - and probaby futile - to resist.'

'The listener is, as it were, drawn into a cycle of colour and emotion. Movingly beautiful.'
