Overall, an accomplished and enjoyable performance of Messiah [JQ]

Clarity, flexibility, detail and beautiful playing here but inconsistent as a set; some symphonies are superlative, others lack excitement [RMo]

A powerful work of considerable creative strength and technical proficiency [JF]

A very interesting pairing on a single CD but the performance achieves mixed results [MP]

Attractively conceived music, well played [SG]

A reissue devoted to a director and choir less well remembered for their early music recordings [JW]

Another major step towards a reassessment of Wolf’s oeuvre [JV]

Fine performances somewhat compromised by indifferent sound [RMo]

A premiere recording of an incandescent lost score [MP]

A significant release of Holst’s sacred choral music [JF]

Instrumental ‘highlights’ culled from Handel’s oratorios and operas [JW]

A striking release of Dvořák’s chamber music from Jan Vogler and friends [MC]

A rather wonderful experience spiritually, historically and, of course, musically [ST]

Blistering Ginastera sandwiched between rather average Dvořák and Sarasate [DMD]

Serene accounts characterised by beauty of tone and homogeneity of phrasing [RMo]

Light Music certainly, but of real and lasting quality [DJB]

A well-considered programme, polished playing, but I miss the grander passions [RCh]

This specialist-market disc will appeal to enthusiasts of Danish music and romanticism [JF]

Combustible Bacewicz and Chopin from a terrific young pianist [DMD]

A moving personal dedication to his wife by Ukraine’s greatest living composer [GT]

A somewhat unusual combination of composers but it works splendidly and is another feather in Mossberg’s by now well-adorned cap [GF]

A fine, flexible, sensitive reading somewhat hampered by a lack of sheer weight in the orchestra [RMo]

Husum surprises and delights once more [RCh]

A mixed bag, but with two masterpieces [SB]
