Peerless playing, crystal clear [SA]

Excellent versions of the attractive song cycles [SB]

An appreciation

The Cherubini Quartet’s favourite and less well-remembered recordings [JW]

A major work by Dupré. Very strongly recommended [JQ]

(Déjà Review) Not only for flautists – enjoyment and stimulation for all [CC]

A top-notch Turangalîla from Toronto; stellar sonics, too [DM]

(Déjà Review) A recording notable for Serkin’s deep understanding of the composer’s sound-world and its emotional extremes [BH]

A glowing and atmospheric account in spectacular SACD sound [SG]

Choral singing of formidable accomplishment [JQ]

This gorgeous recording now becomes my prime recommendation [DMD]

A fascinating programme, with top class performances in excellent sound [GPu]

(Déjà Review) A celebration of one of the significant major bodies of music of the 20th century [GPJ]

A thrilling account [LW]

A fine new recording of Messiaen’s celebration of the natural world [SB]

This glowing account stands shoulder to shoulder with the very best versions in the catalogue [SG]

A superb performance of Messiaen’s visionary score [JQ]
