Album of the Week: '…a thoughtful, beautifully-paced prelude…stylish playing.'

Excepcional: 'In short, an absolutely delicious album, interpreted in a masterly way and recorded superbly. I really hope that these artists offer us more Mozart. Do not miss it.'

'Francesco Piemontesi's playing is mostly magnificent, though, with crystalline clarity, radiant tone and eloquent phrasing...In the fine and intriguing cadenzas...he shines with surety of purpose.'

Performance 5 / Recording 4: 'This compelling and insightful album is an outstanding contribution to Monteverdi's 450th anniversary... Particularly effective is the coloristic sonority of the organ which, by employing the Hauptwerk system, reproduces the sound of an early Venetian instrument.'

'Kuniko interprets Bach's works with a deep understanding of the polyphonic structures. Worth a listen!'

'It suits Ticciati’s considered way with Debussy uncommonly well. Everything is beautifully balanced and clear. Shifts in colour and texture are carefully teased out...'

'This new recording of the Vespers may therefore be considered as one of the best of its kind'.

'Good line up including the wonderful baritone Peter Harvey whose voice and intelligence shines through in everything he does.'

'... it reveals the jazz pianist, who shows luminous classical credentials here too, as equal to the mezzo’s multi-hued originality ...'
