'Welcomed for the first time by Harmonia Mundi, this unique duo represents two of the most talented musicians of the young generation. The slow movements are immensely touching, in a language close to improvisation. In the variations, both musicians lead us into a whirlwind of perfectly mastered virtuosity. Very great art!'

'The perfect recipe for a successful production: outstanding voices...and an orchestra and a conductor perfectly attuned to the specificity of baroque music, and repertoire featuring several world premieres and other less known pieces. Orliński, one of the greatest countertenors of our time, shows not only excellent vocal abilities, but also a rare musical intelligence. A must-have for all those who love baroque music.'

'Presenting them all in their richness and variety is an incredible challenge. Christian Gerhaher and Gerold Huber – with important help from the singers Camilla Tilling, Julia Kleiter, Sibylla Rubens, Wiebke Lehmkuhl and Martin Mitterrutzner – do it with deep and insightful comprehension and vocal artistry of the highest possible quality...The effect is indeed pure musical poetry.'

'Perhaps it is only with this recording (which for the first time makes use of the new critical edition), wonderfully conducted by Giulio Prandi with the Ghislieri Choir and four top class singers, that we can truly understand the mysteries of the old Rossini, who winks at the opera theatre but from a now distanced perspective.'

'With his light, supple and still very youthful voice, Javier Camarena is an ideal interpreter of the title role. Marina Rebeka interprets Imogene expressively and with dramatic impetus. With his rich baritone, Franco Vassallo is a very impressive Ernesto. All the other roles are well cast, and there are also good performances from the orchestra and chorus of the Teatro Massimo Bellini that all add up to make this recording a real treat.'

'Ibragimova is one of the brightest violinists of our time. Her latest album with Paganini’s 24 Caprices sets a new high standard, with the violinist displaying nonchalant virtuosity, amazing imagination if not borderline audacity. Her very personal interpretation offers continuously enriching surprises with each Caprice.'

'Vogt expresses the intimacy of the music very sensitively. This subtle atmosphere is created because Vogt, like the great Ivan Moravec before him, is a singer at the piano, combining tension with naturalness, and turns accents into nuanced, music-inherent developments, unobtrusive throughout in the character of an improvisational reflection.'

'Always focused on the music and not on self-expression, they bring an organic soulfulness to their music-making. Each colleague feels when to stand back and give his partner more prominence. At the same time, everything seems extremely energetic, spontaneous and fresh.'

'Nearly four decades of fruitful artistic cooperation connects Frank Peter Zimmermann and the Berliner Philharmoniker...Zimmermann’s warm and richly shaded tone oscillates between highest subtlety, introversion and powerful expression. His multifaceted craftsmanship forms a perfect complement to the organic and colour-saturated sound of the renowned orchestra.'

'The listeners are very well served by these recordings and the most rewarding of them all is undoubtedly the 1874 version which has never been heard in a more fresh and colourful, imaginative, and richly blossoming performance than in this one under Jakub Hrůša. The recorded sound is also exceptional.'

'[Kopatchinskaja] shows off her stupendous skills in the premiere recording of Coll’s Violin Concerto and Four Iberian Miniatures. The composer reveals himself as a symphonist and master of orchestral writing in the other pieces on this disc. The jury also highlights the sound of the Orchestra Philharmonique du Luxembourg under its chief conductor, Gustavo Gimeno...and the excellent technical level of the recording.'

'Kapustin was posthumously christened a ‘Russian in Gershwin’s clothing’. Whoever listens to the recording by Frank Dupree and the Württembergisches Kammerorchester is immediately convinced: this is no exaggeration. Kapustin’s music sounds filigree, virtuosic and full of relish, in an exciting and immediately gripping, transparent performance....Rosanne Philippens also comes into play virtuously and confidently in the Double Concerto.'

'An intense love drama involving just four characters, it is perfectly performed by the soloists together with the orchestra Les Talens Lyriques and the Choeur de Chambre de Namur. The opera was premiered in 1771 in Vienna, and 250 years later we are grateful to Christophe Rousset for providing the opportunity to listen to this fantastic recording of a true masterpiece by the young Salieri.'

'[Kaufmann's] brilliant performance is the major highlight of this album. Kirill Petrenko’s commitment to the Bayerische Staatsorchester is evident, and the vital breath of his conducting is always in harmony with the sensual score. The chorus and children’s choir are equally central to this recording which brilliantly marks the birth of a new label.'
