Reviews

'The Maxwell Quartet uses a wide palette of colours ... and relies entirely on the natural flow of the music.'

'She certainly offers a striking interpretation ...I’ve never heard them delivered with so many screams,shudders, croaks or growls.'

Album of the Week: 'Garish, bold, exuberant ... Patricia Kopatchinskaja also demonstrates all her versatility.'

' This may be intimate music making but it is monumental in scope.'

'Kopatchinskaja succeeds in this quite extraordinarily. Her bright, one might almost say childlike-sounding voice certainly contributes to this, and one convincingly takes away from it the looseness of playfulness, but also the articulation ability and the content of the statement.'

‘With this unusual programme and fitting performances, this album is indeed appealing.’

The vocal protagonists are worthy of praise ... Here is a superb version.'

'This dive into the romantic melody of the 19th century German shows a remarkable intelligence of the repertoire … Above all, this is an opportunity to relish the talent of Josephine Lang … This is an artist who is worthy of attention.'

'The members of l'Achéron have done the music and the music lovers of our time a great favour.'
