Sunday Times |
FRANZ JOSEF HAYDN
Haydn: String Quartets Op 76 The London Haydn Quartet [ Hyperion / 2 CD - released 26/Feb/2021 ] The summit of Haydn's quartet-writing, and of the classical string quartet medium itself. The 'Emperor', 'Fifths' and 'Sunrise' may be the best known of the six-as so often with those works by Haydn which have nicknames-but the others are every bit... |

VARIOUS COMPOSERS
Sacred Treasures of Christmas The London Oratory Schola Cantorum / Charles Cole [ Hyperion / CD - released 30/Oct/2020 ] A celebration of Christmas from the Nativity through to Candlemas, in music from across sixteenth-century Europe: Renaissance polyphony at its finest. |
GIOVANNI & ANDREA GABRIELI / CLAUDIO MONTEVERDI / GIACOMO FINETTI & OTHERS
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. |
ROBERT SCHUMANN
Schumann: Davidsbündlertänze, Humoreske & Blumenstück Luca Buratto (piano) [ Hyperion / CD - released 28/Apr/2017 ] Hyperion welcomes 2015 Honens Prize Laureate Luca Buratto to the label, a pianist whose 'fiery imagination and finesse' (Musical America) are perfectly suited to the demands of this all-Schumann programme. Despite its unassuming title, the... |
CLAUDE DEBUSSY
Debussy: Songs 4 Lucy Crowe (soprano), Malcolm Martineau (piano) with Jennifer France (soprano) & Christopher Maltman (baritone) [ Hyperion / CD - released 2/Mar/2018 ] "In wonderful voice throughout, Crowe very much makes this repertory her own. Ascents into the stratospheres are all beautifully and securely accomplished, and those long melismas are tautly controlled and always expressive, never vacuous" Gramophone |

J. S. BACH
Bach: Mass in B minor, BWV232 Lydia Teuscher, Ida Falk Winland, Tim Mead, Samuel Boden, Neal Davies / Arcangelo, Jonathan Cohen [ Hyperion / 2 CD - released 10/Jul/2015 ] "Cohen's rejection of the generic, within a grand and ravishing overview, is what propels an overwhelming sense here that this reading deserves to be taken very seriously...The work infrequently speaks with such gracefulness, freedom or conviction." |
ALESSANDRO SCARLATTI
La Folia Lynn Dawson (soprano) / The Purcell Quartet [ Hyperion Helios / CD - released 26/May/2007 ] 'My very favourite...their easy rapport and the stylishness of her singing are quite unforgettable, and Woolley's stunning performance...wants for nothing' (Gramophone) |
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. |
J. S. BACH
Bach: Preludes, Inventions & Sinfonias Mahan Esfahani (early keyboard instruments) [ Hyperion / CD - released 30/Aug/2024 ] A collection of miniatures centred around the sets of Inventions and Sinfonias which Bach wrote principally as teaching aids-of an extremely superior kind, it should be noted-to encourage any young keyboard player 'keen to learn'. These joyous,... |
J. S. BACH
Bach: Italian Concerto & French Overture Mahan Esfahani (harpsichord) [ Hyperion / CD - released 2/Sep/2022 ] "Since for Esfahani any performance starts from a position where everything is freshly, indeed forensically reconsidered, ClavierÜbung II offers particularly rich pickings...Altogether, a challenge to complacency that can't be ignored." BBC Music |

J. S. BACH
Bach: The Toccatas Mahan Esfahani (harpsichord) [ Hyperion / CD - released 2/Aug/2019 ] "Esfahani, who explains their complex history in a detailed essay, has made his own new performing edition and reveals these familiar pieces to have mysteries we may never have suspected." The Observer |
ANTOINE de FEVIN
De Fevin: Missa Ave Maria / Missa Salve sancta parens The Brabant Ensemble, Stephen Rice [ Hyperion / CD - released 2/Nov/2018 ] Stephen Rice and his Brabant Ensemble introduce us to another lesser-known contemporary and compatriot of Josquin.

Modern and electro-acoustic works for harpsichord Mahan Esfahani (harpsichord) [ Hyperion / CD - released 26/Jun/2020 ] Under Mahan Esfahani's hands-and occasionally fists-the harpsichord is transmogrified into an elemental force, by turns supported or menaced by an astonishing arsenal of electronics. Concerned listeners please note: no harpsichords were harmed in the... |
