'He paints a lifelike picture of Seville's neighbourhoods, Madrid's districts, Iberian landscapes and heritage gems. For Goerner, the summer holidays have already begun, and suddenly we know where we want to go.'

'Phantasm is as inspired as ever ...'
Musikzen
'From the very first movement, the musicians display the frenzied and then calming energy and contrasting colours of this work. Lively and captivating.'
Le Soir
'Lucile Boulanger ... puts the music across with polish and perfection, making the whole production a pleasure.'
American Record Guide
'In the concerto, Whelan displays ample personality alongside obvious instrumental facility. He mines timbral colors from runs and arpeggios even as he easily charges through them ... an ear-opening album.'
Early Music America
'It's a pretty phenomenal achievement ... This is actually a really impressive achievement: it's crisp, it's clean, it's precise, it's clear.'
BBC Radio 3 'Record Review'
'Linn’s cycle of Sir James MacMillan’s choral oeuvre continues apace, and this is a worthy addition to the series.'
American Record Guide
'The size and the sound of this Italian period-instrument chamber orchestra seem perfectly suited to this music, making for an utterly delightful release.'
Classical Candor
'... the real treasures on this album are an exhilarating Seventh Violin Sonata by Beethoven - Antheil's idol -, and three subtle pieces by his younger contemporaries John Cage and Morton Feldman.'
