Brahms: Symphonies (Channel)
A variable Brahms cycle, let down by inconsistent conducting decisions and an unfortunate lack of contextual information in the booklet [ST]

Mozart: La Clemenza di Tito (Alpha)
A very good new Tito which marks a new chapter in the development of Nicky Spence as the title character [ST]

Schubert: Schwanengesang (Pentatone)
The final instalment of Bostridge’s Schubert trilogy is a partnership of equals, voice and piano coming together to create something very special [ST]

The Psalms (Signum Classics)
A rather wonderful experience spiritually, historically and, of course, musically [ST]

Two very highly accomplished sets, either of which any listener would be happy with, but ultimately my heart belongs to the Chandos box [ST]
