Teplitsky is superb…Tillmetz’s piece is skilfully written, and Teplitzky and Garza are a match made in Heaven…Elizabeth Dorman…brings huge character..The Don Quixote is a delight…A fascinating release: imaginative couplings to the main event, each illuminating the other, all brilliantly, fastidiously performed and well recorded.

What struck me on first listening was the intelligence with which Olmos Ensemble treats each piece. Mark Teplitsky is absolutely superb…Varga’s…arrangement of Don Quixote…I enjoyed it so much.

Varga created his arrangement of Don Quixote to allow chamber ensembles and their audiences to enjoy Strauss’s masterpiece in a more intimate setting. The Olmos Ensemble admirably fulfills that mission, with a performance that is stylish, smartly executed, and brimming with affection for Strauss’s creation. A most attractive recital. Recommended. 

This is consequently much more than an exercise in documenting neglected British repertoire. It is the beginning of what promises to be an important, recorded survey, undertaken by a pianist who clearly believes deeply in the music and possesses the technical resources to present it at its strongest. Adam Davies deserves considerable credit for bringing Anthony Hedges’s piano music back into circulation with such authority. This excellent release merits wide exploration, and the succeeding volumes will be awaited with considerable interest.

Sacred Joy is just one of those Christmas ‘must haves’ for 2026.… Rayo’s performance is genuine and heart-felt.

Brian Hsu’s complete Années de pèlerinage stands titanically among the most informed interpretations of the great Liszt cycle…[Hsu] approaches a corpus that reveals the evolution of Liszt’s language: from the Romantic tension of his youth to the ascetic rarefaction of his late period…An interpretation that deserves to be loved.

…highly committed playing from the…ensemble – all high-flying soloists and orchestral musicians…there’s much to enjoy here

The Estonian National Male Choir…exhibits an expressive range…From moments of hushed sadness to barefaced cries of anger, their delivery is always truly convincing and a genuine reflection of the music at hand. And here, the combination of voices, percussion and pipe organ makes for a powerful listening experience.

this follow-up is…enjoyable. The performance demonstrates a high level of keyboard technique and the kind of excellent ensemble that results when two pianists are clearly listening to each other. Recommended…
