Editor’s Choice – January 2024

“…Apart from giving us a richer and indeed more accurate knowledge of artistic practice, discs such as this also allow present-day listeners greater connection with and ownership of the musical riches of the past. For this and for the committed, appealing performances that attest to the universality of love, this disc should receive an enthusiastic embrace.” ****½

The Sunday Times – Top 10 Albums of 2023

“You might not associate red-hot passion, sonic opulence and sensual thrills with English music, but the super-conductor John Wilson and the molten-lava strings of the Sinfonia of London bring them all to these loved works, sweeping away the tired old clichés as they go. Their Elgar is electrifying.”
