In concert with his librettists Lax and Tait, Buller has crafted powerful and enriching choral material for Conspirare and Johnson to perform…

Throughout the recital I was struck by the depth of feeling in Haidar’s singing, as well as the smooth flow of his lyricism. This disc is clearly much more than the typical calling card. It is an extraordinarily thoughtful program performed with beauty and sensitivity. Recommended with enthusiasm.

The Czech Philharmonic Wind Ensemble should need no introduction…theirs is a virtuosity of the highest order…This new album is a marvellous collection of music…At the heart of the programme is Cécile Chaminade’s mellifluous Flute Concertino, fitting Lolin’s wind-band setting like a glove….A frisson, indeed!

A beautifully programmed, supremely well executed disc…Recommended.

Gerard McChrystal proves himself a master of each of these pieces and the effects in them…Pianist Richard Shaw is a gifted collaborator as evidenced by the musical and technical polish…The ensemble playing…is most impressive. This CD is…for music lovers…who will be rewarded with a recital of imagination and compelling character pieces.

A fine range of works demonstrates the charm and versatility of this ensemble.

With this finely curated collection of diverse pieces…organist Alexander Ffinch clearly demonstrates that this versatile instrument can stand on its own

Palimpsest is a fascinating album for its set-list, as well as a terrific document of Hao’s pianistic prowess, and the range he demonstrates in tackling stylistically contrasting works by composers…it successfully accomplishes its goal in showing how fundamental the palimpsest idea is to music’s evolution

On this album, the Czech Philharmonic Wind Orchestra members demonstrate their exceptional talent…charming, as are virtually all of Shea Lolin’s arrangements. The homogeneity of the very transparent-sounding orchestra is impressive.
