Dvořák

(Déjà Review) This is a recording which instilled in me a love of the opera which has so far not died; it will surely do the same for many new listeners [CH]

Elman’s glittering morceau (and some others) in splendid transfers [JW]

Crawford plays splendidly but spotlighting him disadvantages the orchestra [MG]

A splendid American string quartet caught on the wing in concert in 1946 [JW]

A well-compiled set of live performances which is enthusiastically welcomed [SG]

A profile of the singer Günther Groissböck – no revelations, but there’s always the voice [ST]

Very well played and recorded but lacking individuality and character [NB]

A handsome tribute to ‘Le Maître’ sixty years after his death [JQ]

A violin concerto-heavy serving of Grøndahl in 1950s broadcasts [JW]

(Déjà Review) I had anticipated dipping in to this disc, but found I could not switch it off [CF]

Recommended with all possible enthusiasm [GF]

An inventive orchestral song recital, the orchestrations of some of which may provoke unease [JW]

(Déjà Review) Performance and recording superb. Recommended, but Sejna’s Supraphon issue is the genuine article [JP]

Many first-class performances to celebrate the 475th anniversary of the Staatskapelle Dresden [MC]

An attractive programme of rare items from Szigeti’s discography [JW]

(Déjà Review) Packed with drama and tunefulness and with virtuosity to burn [KS]

Well played and well recorded but interpretatively rather plain [NB]

Beautifully played, intense Slavic serenades [SFV]

A potentially attractive coupling, quite well played but too low-key and lightweight. [RMo]

(Déjà Review) Ebullient and powerful and the finale sweeping but not overdone, and with tremendous inner rhythm [JW]

Exceptionally fine cello playing, and artistic quality is high throughout [SG]

Violinist Mikhail Pochekin performs these Dvořák works with compelling verve [MC]

If this doesn’t win every award going I will be astonished [DMD]

The Tetzlaffs’ tribute to the late Lars Vogt leaves a mixed impression [LW]
