AMOMYMOUS / DUNSTAPLE / ALANUS
Music for the 100 Years' War The Binchois Consort, Andrew Kirkman [ Hyperion / CD - released 26/Mar/2017 ] "Where a more mellifluous tone is required, as in the top-voice-driven Credo by Excetre, they give Matthew Venner's expressive countertenor full rein." Gramophone Award Nomination 2017 - Early Music |
BOHUSLAV MARTINU
Martinu: The Complete Music for Violin and Orchestra (Vol 4) Bohuslav Matousek (violin) / Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, Christopher Hogwood [ Hyperion / CD - released 20/Sep/2008 ] "In these beautifully recorded performances, both Christopher Hogwood and Bohuslav Matoushek have a profound understanding of Martinu's style and the Czech Philharmonic responds with radiant playing." (BBC Music) |
WILLIAM BYRD
Byrd: Mass for five voices & other works The Gesualdo Six / Owain Park [ Hyperion / CD - released 2/Jun/2023 ] In a selection of motets woven affectingly throughout the glorious five-part Mass, The Gesualdo Six perfectly captures all the power and tenderness of Byrd's compositional voice. |
MIKHAIL GLINKA / NIKOLAI RIMSKY-KORSAKOV

State Choir Latvija / Maris Sirmais
Credo [ Hyperion / CD - released 1/Sep/2023 ] Two opulent choral masterpieces by Richard Strauss frame an eclectic programme from one of Europe's most highly acclaimed choirs. The name of the young Slovenian composer Matej Kastelic may still be relatively little known, but the title track Credo... |
C. P. E. BACH
Bach (C.P.E.): Keyboard Sonatas Vol 1 Danny Driver (piano) [ Hyperion / CD - released 20/Jun/2010 ] "This is surely one of the finest of all recent keyboard issues." Gramophone Magazine: Editor's Choice - July 2010 |
GABRIEL FAURE
Faure: The Piano Quintets Domus [ Hyperion / CD - released 19/Sep/2003 ] PENGUIN GUIDE ROSETTE GRAMOPHONE AWARD WINNER |
ANTONIN DVORAK / SAMUEL COLERIDGE-TAYLOR
Dvorák: String Quartet Op 106; Coleridge-Taylor: Fantasiestücke Takács Quartet [ Hyperion / CD - released 7/Jul/2023 ] Dvořák's mature string quartets are masterly, all brimming with life-enhancing music, and Op 106 is no exception. The Takács Quartet gives superlative accounts of both this and the apt coupling by a young Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. |
JOHANNES BRAHMS
Brahms: Piano Sonatas & Rhapsodies Garrick Ohlsson (piano) [ Hyperion / CD - released 2/Jul/2021 ] Both sonatas recorded here are the work of the young Brahms-still a teenager when he wrote Op 2-and perfectly complement the much later rhapsodies. These are magisterial accounts from a pianist noted for his mastery of the Romantics. |
JOSEPH HAYDN
Haydn: String Quartets Opp 42, 77 & Seven Last Words The London Haydn Quartet [ Hyperion / 2 CD - released 9/Jun/2023 ] Haydn's 'Seven Last Words' (heard here in the composer's own arrangement for string quartet) is simply sublime, and a fitting testimonial to the composer's deep, enduring faith. It provides an apt and generous coupling for the two magnificent Op 77... |

Stephen Hough's Mozart Album Stephen Hough (piano) [ Hyperion / CD - released 10/Mar/2008 ] SUNDAY TIMES CLASSICAL CD OF THE WEEK BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE INSTRUMENTAL CHOICE |

Schmitt: Piano Concertos / Rondeau brilliant Howard Shelley (piano) / Ulster Orchestra / Howard Shelley [ Hyperion Romantic Piano Concerto Vol 84 / CD - released 1/Jul/2022 ] Great Romantic Piano Concertos Vol 84. Composer and conductor, pianist and pedagogue: Aloys Schmitt (1788-1866) was respected by his peers and largely forgotten by posterity. As so often in this series, the three works recorded here will have... |
J. S. BACH
Bach: Cantatas Nos 35 & 169 Iestyn Davies (counter-tenor), Carolyn Sampson (soprano), John Mark Ainsley (tenor), Neal Davies (bass) / Arcangelo, Jonathan Cohen (conductor) [ Hyperion / CD - released 4/Feb/2022 ] Both of these cantatas may have been written for an outstandingly gifted boy alto in Bach's Leipzig, but-listening to these peerless accounts-it's impossible to believe he could have approached Iestyn Davies's flawless technique. |
BALAKIREV / GRIEG / HONEGGER / TCHAIKOVSKY / BERKELEY / MOMPOU / etc
Hommage a Chopin Jonathan Plowright (piano) [ Hyperion / CD - released 20/Feb/2010 ] "All of these multifaceted offerings...show Jonathan Plowright as beguiling in his intimacy as he is magisterial in virtuosity." Editor's Choice: Gramophone Magazine - April 2010 |
WOLDEMAR BARGIEL
Bargiel: Piano Trios Nos 1 & 2 Leonore Piano Trio [ Hyperion / CD - released 1/Apr/2022 ] The name of Woldemar Bargiel may be little known today - although he was the half-brother of Clara Schumann, no less - but he was highly regarded by Brahms and the Schumanns. These are two delightful, richly melodic works. |

Lassen / Scharwenka / Langgaard: The Romantic Violin Concerto Linus Roth (violin) / BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Antony Hermus [ Hyperion Romantic Violin Concerto Vol 22 / CD - released 31/May/2019 ] "Roth plays with almost missionary zeal, he and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, under Antony Hermus, making a convincing case for these works to be more widely performed." The Observer |
FILIPE DE MAGALHAES
Magalhaes: Missa Veni Domine & Missa Vere Dominus Est Cupertinos / Luis Toscano [ Hyperion / CD - released 1/Sep/2023 ] Filipe de Magalhães was perhaps the most celebrated Portuguese composer of his day. Idiomatic performances from Cupertinos-'true ambassadors of Portuguese polyphony'-will go a long way towards justifying that reputation to a modern audience. |
WILLIAM BOLCOM
Bolcom: The complete rags Marc-André Hamelin (piano) [ Hyperion / 2 CD - released 3/Jun/2022 ] 'Bolcom is lucky in having such a musician to provide him with these authoritative accounts of his music.' Gramophone Award Finalist 2023 - Piano |
