'Mobley connects the dots through to 1966 with “I Heard It Through The Grapevine,”. Gaye’s soul-searing high notes are smoothed out into a sultry velvet in Mobley’s delivery, equal parts Gaye and Jessica Rabbit.'

'The disc has everything going for it: a seductive sound, beautiful colours in the high register, great flexibility …'

'... the music gains an evocative vividness, which is communicated atmospherically through the very sophisticated playing.'

'Adèle Charvet despatches the showpieces with agility and bravura ... she's superbly supported by ensemble Le Consort who, under the brilliant young violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte, perform with fire, passion and breathtaking virtuosity.'

'Argerich and Goerner’s belief in Gigashvili’s gifts could hardly be more impressively confirmed.'

'With Laurence Dreyfus and friends, the crafting of ensemble is always irreproachable; in the service of expression, the consort’s mastery leads to dazzling successes ...'

'... this fine new version is to be commended.'

Record of the Week: 'Flamboyant winds and brass bouncing off the stone walls whilst Siranossian improvises solo caprices. It’s a bravura performance.'

'In this anthology of motets, the stellar choir of Gonville & Caius College (Cambridge) does a great job ... ensemble In Echo proves skilful and generous, both in sound and ornamentation.'
