Schubert

Satisfying performances from a great pianist at the start of her career [WH]

Rouchon’s uningratiating vocals, lack of engagement with the psychology of the piece and poor word-pointing make this a real disappointment [SGa]

The brio and panache, and occasional limitations, of a great violinist (and Mahler’s brother-in-law) [JW]

A pleasant recital of no special distinction [RMo]

A brave experiment in exemplary and intelligent singing, but go to Roderick Williams’s earlier recording for a more traditional pairing [SGa]

Fascinating listening [JW]

A very pleasing third instalment of this Schubert project – interesting and beautifully performed [DJa]

(Déjà Review) I don’t think I’ve heard a finer Schubert 4 [CH]

(Déjà Review) The Jochum brothers’ reputations don’t need to be reversed, but it’s quite an enjoyable peep into the past [CH]

An interesting compilation of Schubert Lieder, competently performed, but lacking expressive variety [DJa]

by Alan George

Doráti and the Minneapolis in live concerts with variable music-making but some energising rarities included [JW]

(Déjà Review) Buy this for the Schumann Piano Quintet, which is very successful [GA]

An impressive coupling of unjustly neglected gems [PRJ]

(Déjà Review) Extraordinarily fine performances of a range of music [CH]

An unqualified success [JQ]

(Déjà Review) A disc to be snapped up and at once and then savoured during many listening sessions [GF]

Much to excite the poetic instinct [JW]

(Déjà Review) An exceptionally satisfying disc [JQ]

A disc that straddles the acoustic/electric divide and showcases the glorious art of violinist Toscha Seidel [JW]

The soloist shines in this live recital; the technical side of things is disappointing [MP]

An intrinsically beautiful voice delivers as fine a Schubert recital as we have heard in many a year [RMo]

A marvellous rendition of Schubert’s final sonata [ST]

Fascinating concerto survivors from Henry Holst’s British days [JW]
