Michael Greenhalgh
Schubert: Piano Sonatas (Hyperion)
Attractive performances whose strength is in the happy times and finding consolation in still facing the unhappy [MG]
Haydn & Mozart: Symphonies (Pristine Classical)
Horenstein’s Haydn and Mozart pack quite a punch [MG]
Chopin: Recital 4 (ATMA Classique)
A satisfying recital with a wide-ranging selection and an experienced interpreter [MG]
Mozart: Piano Concertos Vol. 10 (Academy of Ancient Music)
Sparkling performances of early Mozart works you’ve never heard like this before [MG]
Mozart: Symphonies 34-36 (Hänssler Classic)
Symphonies 34 and 35 get entertainingly fresh, well balanced, focussed and detailed accounts but Symphony 36 is less secure [MG]
Byrd: Pavans & Galliards, Variations & Grounds (Avie)
A masterclass of historically informed performance on the piano with zip, colour and eloquence [MG]
Mozart: Piano Sonatas Vol. 5 (SOMM)
Sometimes monumental, sometimes impish, invariably engaging [MG]
Britten: The Turn of the Screw (Alpha)
A vivid rollercoaster approach, the listener smarting on the front row stalls [MG]
Mozart: Symphonies (Genuin)
The outer movements of Symphony 41 are splendid; elsewhere Klumpp’s Mozart can be a shade relentless [MG]
Schubert: Symphony Nos 5 & 6 (Challenge)
Well-crafted accounts which would sometimes benefit from a lighter touch [MG]
