Acis

An interesting collection of transcriptions let down by lacklustre playing [RCh]

A viola-fanciers’ delight with a well-balanced recital offering two sonatas and two smaller, but compelling, pieces [JW]

Little-known early baroque lute music played with distinction and style [GH]

Milhaud and Castelnuovo-Tedesco are just two composers contextualised in this wide-ranging programme [JW]

Mostly of interest to Marylanders, but contains a gutsy performance of Mozart’s Requiem in a new performing edition [ST]

An Alessandro Scarlatti world premiere in splendid performance [RWe]

This well-chosen programme is more interesting and varied than many similar showcase discs [NB]

A sincere and deeply felt work, expertly performed [JQ]

A hugely successful outing recorded in a very resonant acoustic [DMD]
