Rozhdestvensky conducts Balakirev's Symphonies Nos 1 & 2

'Listeners who know Dichterliebe intimately, and think they know the Schumanns pretty well, will discover many fresh delights'

'Alexei Grynyuk handles his part with delicacy and flexibility, and his articulation throughout this recording is pellucid even at top speed'

'Bridelli showcases both Handel and his operatic opponent Porpora with impressive agility'

'Authentic performances of Schubert's piano sonatas performed on an 1820s pianoforte'

'Masterpieces that honour the soloists throughout'

'Castalletti's arrangement achieves a remarkably full and convincing range of sonority in Mahler's final symphony'

'Alex Tuomarila's trio perform a dizzying selection of tantalising tracks'

'A spellbinding set that is arguably Podger's finest recorded achievement to date'
