Gramophone Awards 2019

评语：【Solo Vocal】‘Despite the constant self-reflection, their approach never – to my ears at least – comes close to self-indulgence. With excellent sound from Sony, this is an album to treasure and to savour – and to listen to again and again.’ (Hugo Shirley, February 2019 issue)

评语：【Recital】‘Jaroussky is at his best in these whispery, crooned laments where the voice treads the line between sound and silence.’ (Alexandra Coghlan, April 2019 issue)

评语：【Orchestral】‘A mandatory purchase for its interpretative insights, committed playing and tangibly realistic sound.' (Richard Whitehouse, November 2018 issue)

评语：【Opera】‘Chorus, orchestra and Hervé Niquet’s conducting are exemplary. An absolutely thrilling recording.’ (Richard Lawrence, September 2018 issue)

评语：【Instrumental】‘The three Ligeti Études are supreme tests of pianistic colouring as well as intellectual agility, and here too Wang offers a tour de force of quasi-orchestral detail.’ (David Fanning, December 2018 issue)

评语：【Early Music】‘This is the first recording by Cupertinos for Hyperion and it is a pleasure to have a Portuguese ensemble tackle its native repertory.’ (Fabrice Fitch, January 2019 issue)

评语：【Concerto】'One can well believe that Saint-Saëns found his inspiration for the opening measures of the finale in the pounding of the paddle steamer’s wheels as it travelled up the Nile. The final octave peroration played pìu mosso makes for a thrilling conclusion.’ (Jeremy Nicholas, October 2018 issue)

评语：【Choral】‘Perfectly balanced and beautifully recorded, this is another outstanding release from Lionel Meunier and his team.’ (Lindsay Kemp, September 2018 issue)

评语：【Chamber】'Listen to it in a single sitting, and in the right playing order: it’s extraordinarily moving.' (Tim Ashley, November 2018 issue)
