Reviews

'The playing has a crispness and bounce that I found immediately attractive.'

'Two Mozart horn concertos where Willis’s deliciously smooth horn sound meets the effervescent musicality of the Havana Lyceum Orchestra.'

'If you wanted a single recording to showcase the expressive breadth of John Adams’ orchestral music it might just have arrived.'

'The voice is limpid, agile, her high notes are easy and light, the vocalisations flow like clear water, the phrasing has the obviousness it needs, but above all Julie Roset has the grace to sing this Handel with a kind of candour, an ingenuous light.'

'A kaleidoscope of the sounds and highly diverse rhythms of Cuba, dance-like and at the same time full of refinement, full of life and experimentation.'

'Mozart y Mambo: Cuban Dances contains the right ingredients for another hit album.'

'It does exist, this music that perfectly suits Sunday mornings. Christian Macelaru, as head of the WDR Symphony Orchestra, strikes exactly the right note ...'

'It does not replace the original, of course, but is a fascinating examination of it ... Alpha's sound is excellent.'

'It’s a musicologically sound decision, and with fine results, too.'
