Schubert

The realisation of this current disc is everything the conductor’s admirers could wish for [JW]

by Alan George

A beautiful performance of a number of Schubert’s most atmospheric Lieder – some old favourites and some less-known gems [DJa]

(Déjà Review) Authoritative, finely played, well recorded and transferred [JW]

The greatest soprano of our age in recital from the stage of the Met [PH]

Consistently thought-provoking [DF]

Unfortunately, rather underwhelming all round… [RMo]

Classic performances from Myra Hess and friends [RMas]

Such an odd mix of music, but somehow it works [DJB]

Two accounts that are as fine as any in the catalogue, making a valuable pairing [RMo]

The restored recordings of Erling Bloch – sonata and trio player, quartet leader, eminent teacher and committed exponent [JW]

(Déjà Review) Belongs among the Desert Island Disc recordings of Winterreise [GF]

A ‘Trout’ to challenge classic versions, exhibiting a welcome sense of forward drive, paired with a Hummel novelty [RMo]

Illuminating Schubert from Martin Helmchen [DHa]

Performances that need fear comparisons with no other [ST]

(Déjà Review) This deserves to be ranked alongside the very best [JQ]

A 36-CD remastered box that restores (almost) all Boult’s mono legacy for the Warner umbrella of labels [JW]

(Déjà Review) We must be grateful for the opportunity to hear this great soprano [ABo]

Rare and previously unpublished material enliven another Schiøler release from Danacord [JW]

The characterful Australian Daisy Kennedy’s entire discography is restored [JW]

A curiosity, but also a missed opportunity [ST]

An excellent inaugural release in a new chamber series from Pristine Audio [JW]

Vivid playing by a pianist who passed too soon [RCh]
