Avie
Tal, Kaufmann and Rubin: Orchestral Works (Avie)
Three works by unfamiliar composers, with much to commend them [DJB]
Ysaÿe: Rêves – Violin Concerto & Poème concertant (Avie)
With these Ysaÿe recordings, one senses that Philippe Graffin has embarked on a labour of love [MC]
Bach: Orchestral Suites (Avie)
(Déjà Review) ‘Original’ versions of the Overtures – indispensable for Bach aficionados [JV]
Handel: Trio Sonatas op. 5 (Avie)
(Déjà Review) Intoxicating, sometimes quixotic, but always entertaining [JW]
Mahler: Symphony No. 4 (Avie)
More than a curio, this Fourth has an appeal and an impact all of its own [CC]
Coates: London Again (Avie)
(Déjà Review) Sweet tuneful nostalgic delight – a must for Eric Coates admirers [IL]
Wallen: The Girl in My Alphabet (Avie)
(Déjà Review) Wallen is a brashly creative, open-minded composer striding with confident abandon from jazz, to Tippett, to spirituals, to Schoenberg, to Mediterranean mystery [RB]
Four Temperaments (Linn)
Another outstanding recording by Phantasm, which presents English consort music in its full glory [JV]

Very imaginative and enthralling interpretations [JV]

(Déjà Review) There’s something for everybody in this excellently played between-the-wars anthology of music [JL]
Enescu: The Three Piano Suites (Avie)
(Déjà Review) Absorbing music, outstandingly recorded [CW]
Handel: Tamerlano (Avie)
(Déjà Review) A great work which deserves to be discovered or rediscovered through this fine set [KM]
Mozart: Wind Concertos (Avie)
(Déjà Review) Authenticists might not agree with everything, but surely even they would get sucked in to the spirit of it all [CC]
The World’s First Piano Concertos (Avie)
(Déjà Review) Excellent performances of early piano concertos played on a little-known instrument [JV]
Byrd: Pavans & Galliards, Variations & Grounds (Avie)
A masterclass of historically informed performance on the piano with zip, colour and eloquence [MG]
