Berlin Classics

Another fine account of Mahler‘s Tenth which will appeal to those who want a more direct, driven and cohesive concept [RMo]

These New Brandenburg Concertos, based on organ trio sonatas, make a delightful programme [SB]

An atypical programme of chamber works, well performed and recorded [LW]

Very good, but is there more goodness to be extracted from Bach’s BWV1080? [DC]

An intriguing reimagining of Arvo Pärt’s music with some fantastic singing [DHa]

Meltingly affecting, make sure you have a fresh spiritual mop and bucket to hand for this recording [DC]

The youth choir Dresdner Kreuzchor struggles to produce a sound strong enough for these works [GPJ]

Two brilliant performers, one very strange disc – Schubert transformed or transmogrified? [GPJ]

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

Rapturous: two Mozart Serenatas composed (and recorded) in Salzburg [DF]

Superb playing, but the awkward mix of styles doesn’t work [DJB]

Classic performances from Schreier and Shetler [RMas]

(Déjà Review) One of the very best recordings of Mahler’s Sixth Symphony available [TD]

(Déjà Review) Hasse’s final work, while sounding more like an opera than a mass, is beautiful indeed [KM]

This delightful collection of songs takes the listener on a gentle trip both down memory lane and on an expedition into some obscure backyards [GF]

These fifty-year-old recordings are classics and admirers of Schumann and Peter Schreier should own them, but the documentation is scanty [GF]

A well-played but unbalanced programme [NB]

A resounding success [DJB]

A compelling and superbly performed programme [WH]
