More unsung British piano music [JF]

Handel: Lotario (Naxos)

A thoroughly enjoyable, very well sung and played – if rather small-scale – performance of a neglected Handel opera [RMo]

Büttner: Symphony No.2 (cpo)

A semi-forgotten German symphonist does not really convince [JW]

Can Çakmur (piano): Schubert+ Volume 4 (BIS)

Luminous and insightful, supple and fluid playing, crisp and clear sound [SA]

Beethoven: Piano Concerti, Choral Fantasia (Warner Classics)

A justly famous collection of performances; this latest remastering serves it well [JQ]

(Déjà Review) Very satisfying, centred and gracious [RB]
