Capriccio

If you like this programme, you will like these performances [EJW]

Nikolai’s quartet and Alexander’s piano quintet are the stand-out works here [SB]

An impressive account of this once notorious work [SB]

A tight, driven account of Bruckner’s First Symphony which is a success even if I still prefer Schaller’s version [RMo]

A beautifully played recording of the Fifth Symphony for those who like their Bruckner a little leaner and faster with variations of tempi strongly contrasted [RMo]

A movingly immersive experience [MP]

A release well worth revisiting a decade later [SG]

(Déjà Review) A superbly executed realisation of Prokofiev’s Onegin incidental music [JL]

Symphonies by a little-known Romantic Polish composer, played with understanding and immediacy [GH]

Beautifully balanced between thrilling tension and lyricism despite – or because of? – the pervasively propulsive speeds [RMo]

(Déjà Review) My first meeting with Müller and I hope it won’t be my last … music which is animated, warm and intriguing [JW]

This legendary work turns out to be more a curiosity than a masterpiece [SB]

Two late-19th century symphonies, agreeable if not compelling, little known, little heard [RB]

Two well-filled CD’s filled with attractive 20th Century orchestral and vocal music from a composer unjustly neglected in the West [EJW]

An interesting world premiere and a masterly reading of the Whitman songs [GF]

Instantly captivating – to date the most desirable of the seven Vladigerov Capriccio sets [RB]

(Déjà Review) Moments of great beauty as well as operating on a real dramatic trajectory [CC]

Precious jewels, delightfully played [ST]

(Déjà Review) The programming shows real individuality; the recording is top-drawer and the playing first-class [CC]

Played somewhat ‘wrong,’ but much of it still right [SV]

Not an original voice, but thoroughly enjoyable pieces nonetheless [DJB]

Poschner’s well-directed Complete Versions series continues [RMo]

Probably the most charming comic Italian opera since Falstaff in a fizzing studio performance [GF]

(Déjà Review) A fine synergy: superb instrument, performer and recording [DC]
