Covid-19: Update: 17th Feb 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. Following Brexit EU customers should view this page regarding taxation. We thank you for your understanding.

“… This super disc gives much enjoyment, and exudes orchestral colour… the sound is to Chandos’s usual high standard. Nigel Simeone’s essay, concise and informative, adds to the listening pleasure. All in all, this is a most rewarding and highly recommendable disc.”

“… the Canzona Sonata for viola and string orchestra is simpler [than Symphonies 4 & 6] but still quite demanding of the soloist. The viola's autumnal tone lends a delightfully nostalgic hue to this lovely short piece which – for all its straightforwardness – displays Keninš' hallmarks that one has come to admire in his most substantial works - most remarkably of all, his unforced contrapuntal mastery… impeccable performances in very fine, natural sound by musicians who clearly believe in the music. One can but hope that more is to come soon.”

“… For all the special effects, however, it is a lyrical score of great depth, beauty and feeling. With her silverly soprano, Gumbel sings with an emotional range as wide and penetrating as the colors of her voice. She delivers news flashes matter of factly, but her dismay and disbelief are obvious. Joy and hope are voiced with the same passion as anger and fear… Kander’s structure emerges on this recording with greater clarity, as does the brilliance of her imaginative orchestration. Gumbel’s text is also heard to its full advantage, but that is to be expected considering that the remarkable work was written by and for her.”

“… The disc will be a must for admirers of Hans Gál, a legion which seems to grow by the month, as rapidly in fact as the gaps in his discography get filled. However anyone with a taste for early twentieth century lieder is unlikely to feel short changed by Gál’s subtly alluring contribution to the form.”
