FRANZ SCHUBERT
Schubert: String Quartets D112 & 887 Takács Quartet [ Hyperion / CD - due 31/May/2024 ] The 'heavenly lengths' Schumann loved in late Schubert are as much in evidence in the sublime G major quartet as in the other large-scale works of Schubert's final years. The Takács Quartet's earlier Hyperion recordings of Schubert were hailed as... |
EDVARD GRIEG
Grieg: Holberg Suite, Ballade & Lyric Pieces Andrey Gugnin (piano) [ Hyperion / CD - due 3/May/2024 ] Andrey Gugnin presents a wonderful all-Grieg recital, the elegant neo-classicism of 'From Holberg's time' (a rare and welcome opportunity to hear the original version for solo piano) contrasting with the brooding magnificence of the 'Ballade'. |
ANNIBALE PADOVANO
Padovano: Missa A la dolc' ombra & Missa Domine a lingua dolosa Cinquecento [ Hyperion / CD - due 3/May/2024 ] Celebrated in his time as a 'man of great worth', who 'really knew how to play well and compose well', Annibale Padovano's modern-day neglect doesn't reflect the high regard in which he was held. Cinquecento deliver flawless accounts of two major... |

MAURICE DURUFLE / FRANCIS POULENC
Duruflé: Requiem / Poulenc: Lenten Motets The Choir of Trinity College Cambridge, Stephen Layton [ Hyperion / CD - released 15/Mar/2024 ] The balance [in the Duruflé] puts you in the building in the most extraordinary way … that wonderful envelope of sound that just surrounds you as you listen to it. A shout-out for Harrison Cole-he's done an extremely good job as a young organ schola. |
PYOTR TCHAIKOVSKY / ERICH KORGOLD
Tchaikovsky & Korngold: String Sextets Nash Ensemble / David Lloyd-Jones [ Hyperion / CD - released 15/Mar/2024 ] The teenage Korngold possessed a compositional fluency and maturity which belied his youth; in contrast, Tchaikovsky feared-wholly unjustifiably-his own creative powers to be on the wane when writing Souvenir de Florence. |
DAVID BRIGGS
Briggs: Hail, Gladdening Light & Other Works The Choir of Trinity College Cambridge, Stephen Layton [ Hyperion / CD - released 16/Feb/2024 ] Apocalyptic walls of sound cascade around the Gothic vaults of Saint-Eustache in Paris as Stephen Layton and David Briggs unleash, respectively, the full power of a top-notch Trinity Choir and the mighty van den Heuvel organ of 1989.

Sacred treasures of Venice - Sacred motets from the Golden Age of Venetian polyphony The London Oratory Schola Cantorum, Charles Cole [ Hyperion / CD - released 9/Feb/2024 ] It's tempting to imagine that this is how the music might have sounded four centuries ago in the glorious surroundings of St Mark's. Certainly, any comparisons are unlikely to be to the disadvantage of these exceptional young singers. |
MARC-ANDRE HAMELIN
Marc-André Hamelin - New Piano Works Marc-André Hamelin (piano) [ Hyperion / CD - released 2/Feb/2024 ] Piano recordings do not come much more exhilarating (or entertaining) than Marc-André Hamelin's survey of some of his own recent works. Listening to one of the most formidably complex musical minds of today is a rare and rewarding privilege: prepare... |

J. S. BACH
Bach: The French Suites Mahan Esfahani (early keyboard instruments) [ Hyperion / 2 CD - released 6/Oct/2023 ] 'Mahan Esfahani couldn't make a routine recital of Bach's keyboard music if you paid him' was BBC Record Review's verdict on a previous release: prospective listeners to this wonderful new set should rest assured that any hint of the routine remains... |
