‘The five members of the European ensemble Cinquecento (six for Cantate Domino) couldn't be more robust if they tried, and sail through this bracing repertoire unafraid … the musical equivalent of a rich chocolate cake’ (The Times)» More

Elgar: The Dream of Gerontius
Studio Master: CDA68461/2  RECORD OF THE MONTH 2CDs  Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available

‘The Huddersfield Choral Society are impressive throughout, singing with a winning combination of warmth and clarity, and Brabbins draws excellent playing from the Orchestra of Opera North, Elgar's scoring never seeming thick or stodgy. Taped last April in Huddersfield's glorious Town Hall, it all sounds marvellous’ (TheArtsDesk.com)» More

Studio Master: 4871857  Download only NEW  Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available

‘Few have matched the prismatic imagination of Isata Kanneh-Mason … her shrewdly weighted accents, ravishing colours and keen attention to dynamics work together in a way that makes most other performances, however exciting, seem flat in character … a distinguished addition to the Prokofiev discography’ (Gramophone)

Garro: Missa O quam pulchra es & Missa Cantate Domino
Studio Master: CDA68438  Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available

‘A fascinating rediscovery … he could not have better advocates than Cupertinos and Toscano … Cupertinos sing with such commitment that one could be forgiven for thinking this was an actual liturgy being enacted and we were part of the congregation … an intelligence of approach that pervades their entire recital … a dynamic, continually varied and expressive experience, beautifully realised by Cupertinos’ (MusicWeb International)» More

Divine impresario
Studio Master: SIGCD986  Download only  Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available

The Crown of Life
Studio Master: SIGCD979  Download only  Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available

‘Owen Rees presides over an impeccably poised and outstandingly fervent display … in every way a terrific follow-up to these same forces’ pioneering recording of Leighton’s precocious 1950 cantata Veris gratia … glorious music-making from start to finish, flawlessly captured by producer Adrian Peacock and sound engineer Dave Rowell. I should add that Rees supplies a most illuminating booklet essay. Kudos to all involved!’ (Gramophone)

CDS44621/47  27CDs Boxed set (at a special price) 

‘This is great Bach-playing, proving (to this listener at least) that when hearing Hewitt's Bach it's impossible to imagine the music being performed in any other way. An unmissable bargain’ (Gramophone)

The Times, Geoff Brown
Garro: Missa O quam pulchra es & Missa Cantate Domino
Studio Master: CDA68438  Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available

‘As soon as Toscano's forces launched themselves on the eight-part polyphony of Parce mihi, Domine, I knew I was in seventh heaven … the music is enhanced by a warm church acoustic. Sink into the music's beauties and forget the world exists’ (The Times)
