Déjà Reviews

(Déjà Review) The most exciting high baroque choral vocal music you will hear anywhere [PSh]

A must-have for any serious music lover [KS]

(Déjà Review) The strong personality of dedicatee Julian Bream is ever present, but Ogden more than rises to the task. A fine disc [AD]

(Déjà Review) A recording notable for Serkin’s deep understanding of the composer’s sound-world and its emotional extremes [BH]

(Déjà Review) Slotchiver is an ardent disciple of Busoni and her playing is authoritative [CSS]

(Déjà Review) Recommended without reserve – player, music and instrument are perfectly matched [GS]

(Déjà Review) I’ve little doubt it will be the definitive version for many years to come [AO]

Alsop’s Brahms series has gotten off to an excellent start [PCW]

(Déjà Review) A reminder of all the strengths of this cruelly-underrated conductor/composer. Certainly, this is a major addition to the Strauss discography [CC]

(Déjà Review) I’ve been returning to this superb disc again and again over the past few weeks [GS]

(Déjà Review) It’s difficult adequately to describe the essential rightness of these performances [SV]

(Déjà Review) Should win many new friends for Alfvén’s music [WT]

(Déjà Review) Plenty to enjoy in this delicate, yet never lightweight, repertoire [PW]

A well-balanced recital, beautifully sung, mixing old and new [RH]

(Déjà Review) Anyone who loves the symphonies will find these works as satisfying as the larger pieces. They are easy to listen to, once the Holmboe idiom has been assimilated, and will repay the listener ten times over [JP]

(Déjà Review) This set wins hands down [JP]

(Déjà Review) In playing and interpretation it takes its place among the finest [TD]

(Déjà Review) Scorchingly committed performances and recording of these monuments of twentieth century music-making [RB]

Anyone contemplating purchase of this set will be buying it for Maria Callas, and it is worthwhile for this alone [JP]

(Déjà Review) This disc in excellent sound is a worthy alternative to the composer’s own [JW]

(Déjà Review) No Arrau admirer would want to be without it [JW]

(Déjà Review) There’s something for everybody in this excellently played between-the-wars anthology of music [JL]

(Déjà Review) An excellently planned programme [NHo]

(Déjà Review) Magnificent accounts to cherish [MC]
