A Titanic Shostakovich Tenth of almost unique power and darkness [MB]

Certainly the finest recording of the modern era [MB]

Some poetic moments but little sparkle or brilliance [MB]

Interesting and engaging repertoire expertly played and recorded [MB]

These Études aspire to a narrative unlike any other recording ever made – and is often remarkable in doing that [MB]

Towering performances of Beethoven and Isang Yun from South Korea [MB]

A very personal and compelling recording, if a touch idiosyncratic, of Rach 3 [MB]

Schippers’s great Osaka Die Walküre is one of the great treasures of the Wagner discography [MB]

It would be hard to find a more sumptuously played and superbly recorded Wagner disc than this one [MB]

(Déjà Review) The finest opera CD I have heard this year [MB]

A Mahler 7 to be ranked with the finest but carrying an extra magic only “live” performance can bring [MB]

An extraordinary 1812, and the rest are very good as well [MB]
