Reviews

Album of the Week: '... the performance by soprano Asmik Grigorian and pianist Lukas Geniusas is phenomenal. This CD blows you away!'

'I think CPE Bach would have got on well with François Lazarevitch, such is the quantity of curiosity and imagination ... Equally key to its success is period keyboardist Justin Taylor ...'

'... a delicious scherzo and marvelous conclusion. An absolute joy.'

'Simon Trpčeski offers a magnificent programme entirely devoted to the variation art.'

Diapason d'Or: '... an irresistible clarity to the organic succession of harsh questioning, tender repartee, and outbursts of joy or dejection.'

Diapason d'Or: 'With this vision where spontaneity and contemplation are balanced with reason, Evangelina Mascardi certainly deserves her place in the pantheon of lutenists.'

'The vibration of the voice, the length of the breath, the lightness, the pianissimo treble, everything is seductive, as is the subtly coloured keyboard of Lukas Geniusas, whose part could, on its own, constitute a prelude or a study-tableau.'

Excepcional: 'Above any other consideration about this recording, what must be emphasised is its incredible quality, which makes it an inescapable reference in the eyes of any lover of these works.'

Recommended: 'A must-have for those who love Bach or the lute – or both.'
