Reviews

'In sum, the Beethoven selections contain more than enough points of interest but you’ll mainly want this disc for the Haydn.'

Recording of the Month: 'When the score calls for sheer tenderness, they fairly melt into the music, every subtlety heard and felt. And yet it's never precious. This remarkably honest reading balances the holy with the dazzling.'

'The Sextet, too, is marvellously done here – fluent, articulate and sensitively shaped, with delicious interleaving of phrases in the rambunctious finale.'

Recording of the Month: 'These are revelatory performances that make you listen afresh to this wonderful life-enhancing music.'

'...smoothly blended trombones and the incisive agility of the trumpets...wrap the listener up in one tingling embrace.'

'...an exceptional release, which when it had finished I immediately played again.'

'This is a musically well realized homage to the German born American composer Sam Adler. The works with various instruments cover a wide range of his life and different styles of expression. The overall impression is one of a life-affirming composer.'

'This beautiful performance is both vocal and instrumental, with an unparalleled technical and expressive perfection. Can not be missed!'
