A great Callas performance in a wonderful Verdi opera [PBW]

(Déjà Review) Among the essential recordings of this magnificent work [PBW]

This release should play a major role in promoting Firkušný’s name [PBW]

One of the very finest recordings of the concerto [PBW]

Delightful, typically idiosyncratic but inessential Ives [PBW]

An appetising collection of unfamiliar Haydn symphonies in unsurpassed performances [PBW]

Not the most obviously representative Tennstedt performances, but nevertheless strong and committed [PBW]

A fabulous debut recording, not to be missed [PBW] 

Good performances but no special interpretative insights [PBW]

Overall, this is an unsatisfying and disappointing CD [PBW]

Great, essential performances, clearly recognisable even with less than ideal sound quality [PBW]

Superb performances of lesser-known but deeply rewarding Schumann [PBW]

Fine playing, but the interpretations are a matter of personal taste [PBW]

Thoroughly musical, but rather plain, sober and lacking in panache [PBW]

A terrific Ghost Trio, less impressive E flat major Trio [PBW]

An unusual programme, attractive, but somewhat generic performances [PBW]

A stunning CD – fantastic performances of strongly contrasting works [PBW]

Martin Jones proves a strong advocate for this intriguing repertoire [PBW]

A strong performance, if sometimes tending towards literalness [PBW]

An interesting but largely disappointing CD, mainly because of an underpowered performance of the symphony [PBW]
