Chandos

There’s a great deal to admire in this ‘Babiy Yar’, though it doesn’t shake allegiances to some earlier recordings [JQ]

An impressive achievement which serves as a fine memorial to a distinguished British conductor [JQ]

(Déjà Review) Highly recommended to film music fans and admirers of English 20th Century music, particularly of Alan Rawsthorne [PC] [GSD]

Vibrant performances of Nielsen’s masterpieces, but the competition is formidable [LW]

Good performances but no special interpretative insights [PBW]

A welcome new recording of a substantial Delius score as originally conceived [NB]

Exemplary performances of some rare Grieg [SB]

An essential acquisition for all Baxians [RB]

A very enjoyable Tchaikovsky collection, vividly played and recorded [JQ]

The warmest welcome for a superb new realisation of Delius’s greatest work of incidental music [PCG]

A very promising beginning to the Doric’s Beethoven cycle, marked by excellent engineering, superb emotion, and precise attention to detail [MZ]

(Déjà Review) Much of this music is delightful, particularly the symphony, where Yoshimatsu wears his heart unselfconsciously on his sleeve. The BBC Philharmonic plays beautifully with Ian Bousfield a fine soloist in the concerto [CT]

(Déjà Review) Committed readings of unjustly neglected works from the forgotten byways of the British Musical Renaissance [HC]

Shostakovich and Pärt, cheek by jowl, on this uneven disc [NC]

(Déjà Review) This will be compulsory and compulsive listening for admirers of DSCH [PCW]

(Déjà Review) Hugely entertaining music conducted with incisiveness and flair [JQ]

A handful of unfailingly accomplished, virtually unknown trios, in handsome performances and ideal sound [RHa]

A crisp interpretation of Ravel’s reverie that highlights its sui generis brilliance against his Boulangerist successors [NC]

Bavouzet and Takács-Nagy are unsurpassed in sensitively conveying Mozart’s varieties of mood, but K415’s finale is diminished by a plethora of eingangs and a rescoring [MG]

Musically and sonically outstanding [JQ]

An essential Nielsen recording that crackles with the chaotic energy of the life-force [NC]

The Neave Trio charm us in this collection of rarities [RCh]

A very well played anthology of what is not Tchaikovsky’s most memorable or celebrated music [RMo]

Superb recordings of all the works here [SB]
