Covid-19: Update: 27th Aug 2021
During the current unprecedented situation, Chandos Records continues to trade as normally as possible. As many of our staff are working remotely, we would ask you to submit any queries online here rather than by telephone. CD orders are being despatched on the next working day, but understandably due to the pandemic delivery times will vary and take significantly longer than usual, depending on your location. Please note there are also countries ‘on suspension’ by UK’s Royal Mail. We thank you for your understanding.

“… With his phenomenal technique, the Pole demonstrates on this CD that his incisive playing has something to communicate, that it acquires a rhetorical power rare for the guitar and also conveys genuine emotion. At the same time, he knows how to differentiate the individual composers according to their nationality and always find the idiomatically correct tone. The dynamics, extraordinarily reproduced on the CD, the perfect clarity and the incomparable ornamental refinement make this recital a supreme pleasure.” *****

“… Support from the Lucerne players is impeccable, gently prodded and moulded by Daniel Dodds, but always instinctively responsive to every nuance of Steinbacher’s playing. You get the impression that here are musicians who not only understand each other perfectly, but relish playing in each other’s company. These first two concertos, perhaps occasionally overlooked in preference to the last three, reveal a great many charms and delights in these beautifully recorded performances, but a real highlight are the cadenzas which were written by one of the founding fathers of the Festival Strings Lucerne, Wolfgang Schneiderhan. Without imposing excessive show or virtuosity, these are the ideal vehicles to demonstrate Steinbach’s playing and in particular the sumptuous sound of that lovely Strad.”Recommended
