***** (Exceptional)

Michel Fleury – Classica magazine (France) – March 2019

“… The documentation is good, including an essay from Barton Pine herself … the Avie sound is super. All told, then, a very successful pairing, both of works and of artists.”

Simon Thompson – MusicWeb-International.com – 8 February 2019

“… Dedicated “to the memory of a musical hero and generous friend, Sir Neville Marriner,” the CD is an excellent addition to Pine’s impressive discography.”

Terry Robins - The Wholenote.com - 1 March 2018

"... Pine's interpretation [Elgar] is as emotionally satisfying as it is dazzling. The slow movement is mysteriously veiled and luminous, providing a palpable sense of the music's darker undercurrents... The recorded sound is glorious, with a near-ideal balance between soloist and orchestra."

Andrew Farach-Colton - Gramophone magazine - March 2018

"Serenity and confidence flow in Elgar's hard-to-pin-down concerto"

Julian Haylock - The Strad - March 2018

“... this account of the G-minor is accomplished and fresh-faced, its excellence suggested immediately by an expectant timpani-roll introduction and some finely-blended woodwinds. In the distraction-free studio (its unencumbered clarity faithfully captured) Pine gives a technically infallible account of intensity ... this is certainly an imposing version, aided with certainty by Litton and the BBCSO being not only attentive but thoroughly involved and distinctive... Litton is a sympathetic Elgarian, impulses and emphases finely judged ...” ****

Colin Anderson – ClassicalSource.com – January 2018
