“… Artur Pizarro is the young Portuguese virtuoso…. and, predictably, his Liszt debut recital on Collins is of exceptional quality…
… Argerich’s Schumann too is among her… The sound when you bother to notice it, is excellent, though in warmth and detail it hardly rivals Collins Classics’ which is of demonstration quality throughout.”
[Bryce Morrison, Gramophone]
“Really convincing accounts of the Liszt Sonata are rare events, but I think we have one here…”
“… The recorded piano sound is excellent and the disc deserves a very warm recommendation indeed.”

“… Bedford goes on to direct the ECO in a memorable performance of Britten’s masterly Frank Bridge Variations. Beautifully engineered, once again Bedford demonstrates an affinity not just with the nuts and bolts, but the extraordinary intensity of feeling…”
“… After a number of very average and scrappily played versions of this piece, it is good to have so fine a modern, digital version available at long last.”
[J.H. CD Review]
“…Helped by good sound recording Bedford draws some fine dynamic contrasts from both orchestras…”
[Jeremy Beadle, Classic CD]

“The catalogue is already rich in fine versions of Mendelssohn’s Shakespeare music and a new contender has to be pretty impressive to cope with quality mid-price recordings like those of Klemperer, Kubelik and Litton. Walter Weller’s new disc on Collins is just that, with fine conducting and glorious sound.”
“…This one scores first of all because the sound is beautifully clear: Glasgow’s City Hall acoustic is a warm and grateful one, and engineer Mark Edwards has miked it superbly well – I’ve never heard this old familiar score sound cleaner…”.
[Terry Blain Classic CD]
“… The Royal Scottish Orchestra play very neatly throughout the programme, the recording is good, and Weller conducts competently…”
[A.S. Gramophone]
…
“The Vanbrugh Quartet performs both quartets with astonishing intensity and a clear feeling for the emotional background: every bar has been thought through and the terrifying technical demands of Janacek’s string writing emerges less as virtuosity than as an integral part of a narrative. The Vanbrughs have no qualms about telling the story in performances which have an almost theatrical vividness…”
[BBC Music Magazine]
“This is a really splendid new recording of the Janacek Quartets, intelligently coupled with one of Dvorak’s most beautiful chamber works. The Vanbrugh Quartet play with superb technical accomplishment and produce a range and richness of tone colour which is remarkable… There is a vibrancy and passion in their playing which is utterly convincing… this is a version to which I will return very often, with real pleasure; a pleasure which is much enhanced by the perfectly delicious performance of Dvorak’s E flat quartet… Very strongly recommended.”
