'Sensitive, stylish, intelligent playing. Artistry that doesn’t draw attention to itself. It’s good to have you back, Bill.'
Gramophone
'Here’s another Iberia that can hold its own in Alicia de Larrocha’s standard-setting company.'
Gramophone
'What delicacy in these immaculate sonorities, what nobility in these whispered cadences …'
Classica
Editor's Choice: 'The atmosphere and soundworld created by Doulce Mémoire gloriously presented performances of Josquin songs instantly transports us to an era far from our own.'
Gramophone
Disc of the Month: 'One of the most unique artists on the current opera scene.'
Classic Voice
'Järvi does a wonderful job of clearly delineating where the music is going, allowing Tchaikovsky's refulgent textures to emerge unfettered, with an emotionally lighter spring in their step than usual.'
BBC Music Magazine
'A highly energetic kaleidoscopic symbiosis thus takes shape in the first and last movements, perfectly expressed by violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja and pianist Joonas Ahonen.'
