Reviews

'Grigorian inhabits each of these little dramas, and her voice, rich but with a distinct edge, is a thrill in itself ...'

'La Ragione taps into a wealth of colours in each work too, showcasing the distinctive timbres of three different period mandolins ...'

'Gens and Piau audibly exult in one another's artistry, particularly in the synchronised fireworks of a duet from JC Bach's La Clemenza di Scipione.'

'This 2022 release by the Belcea Quartet, with violist Tabea Zimmermann and cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras, vaults to the top levels of the list ... A very strong outing from a quartet that is among the most consistent in the field.'

'The result is a unique, smartly conceived program ... Aristidou proves she’s game for anything.'

'Piau’s singing is beautifully effective; she has the ability to express profoundly and distinctively emotions every character’s perspective.'

'Helmchen perfectly captures Schumann's poetics.'

'Appl's strength is the precise treatment of the text due to an enormously broad, multi-coloured, at the same time carefully nuanced expression and emotional repertoire. James Baillieu is a true partner to him on the piano, a deeply felt co-creator.'

Diamant d'Opéra: 'Two artists at their zenith, an instrumental group that ranks among the best, a wealth of discoveries: in other words, a unique anthology.'
