A splendid double treat, with everyone at the top of their game [SGa]

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

Despite a cautious approach in places, Donohoe shows how much this music means to him, and what careful delight he takes in playing it [SGa]

Good, clear Bach playing delivered with the benefit of deep scholarship, but sometimes lacking warmth and expansiveness [SGa]

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

A few things make this performance a good choice but the deficiencies in the power of two of its soloists might bother some [SGa]

Buy this for Larderet, rather than the two new adaptations, or the ‘Complete’ tag [SGa]

For a few quiet moments of autumnal reflection, coupled with fine, resonant and sensitive playing, look no further [SGa]

This reissue may still have sound issues, but Amy Shuard’s performance alone makes it a worthy addition to anyone’s collection [SGa]

Smaller forces from Suzuki, but all the drive, passion and enthusiasm you could hope for [SGa]
