Strong Dvořák performances for the Year of Czech Music, but they’re expensive in light of the competition [ST]

An attractive package [JQ]

Alternately delicate and voluptuous orchestral playing and rich sonics underpin the effect of this pairing [RMo]

Very well played and recorded but lacking individuality and character [NB]

A gripping performance of a macabre, strangely compelling work [RMo]

Recommended with all possible enthusiasm [GF]

Exceptionally fine playing and recording compromised by unbalanced programme and poor documentation [NB]

A marvellous exhibition of unaccompanied choral singing [JQ]

Classy performances by both singer and orchestra [ZT]

Fine playing from an engaging young pianist, if not the most memorable Schumann [JH]

A very enjoyable account of Má Vlast, superbly played [JQ]
