Sony Classical

My high expectations were exceeded by Jan Vogler’s compelling performances [MC]

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

One of our greatest cellists in a revelatory performance from his younger days [WH]

(Déjà Review) Fortunate the listener who learns her/his Brahms through these works [RB]

(Déjà Review) One of the most sheerly beautiful and instantly recognisable mezzos of the last fifty years [RMo]

(Déjà Review) Verdi singing does not come much better than this [RJF]

Superb engineering and wonderful playing hobbled by Thielemann’s reluctance to sacrifice beauty of sound to emotional release [RMo]

Lovers of great Lieder singing should have this in their collection [RMo]

A reissue of an imperishable “classic of the gramophone” – the greatest music of its genre in the best of 60s stereo sound [RMo]

Exotically scored but melodically diffuse, this melodrama is given the best possible advocacy [RMo]

(Déjà Review) Marvellously subtle and polished … delightfully witty [TH]

Essential, authentic listening for admirers of Leonard Bernstein [JQ]

An affectionately played trio of works by Dvořák at his most typically exuberant [RMo]

(Déjà Review) In spite of reservations, hearing this music played by this orchestra under this conductor at this time is thrilling [TD]

A generous-minded performance somewhat let down by idiosyncratic recording quality [JW]

A striking release of Dvořák’s chamber music from Jan Vogler and friends [MC]
