An interesting contribution to our knowledge of the music scene in 18th-century England and the history of Scottish traditional music [JV]

Glorious tone – top of the class [DJB]

Recommended for a most enjoyable experience [SG]

William Primrose’s elite string quartet recordings back after 30 years [JW]

With added flute part, this arrangement is a welcome curiosity for those already familiar with the work [SW]

Rousing, exquisitely articulated performances of Haydn symphonies [DF]

A very entertaining disc, which gives a good impression of what may have been performed at the Bach-Abel concerts [JV]

Late Casals in imperfect recordings, attractively remastered and presented [JW]
