Reviews

This group is in full and virtuosic command of its instruments, allowing confident plunges into risk-taking as well as lovely exploitation of the varied colors. Period instrument performances don’t get any better than this. Let’s just say that this is one of the very top period-instrument recordings of the moment. John W Barker - American Record Guide - March/April 2014

This is lean, spry, spirited playing. Solos are taken from within the group and there is a real sense of shared ownership from every gutsy, exuberant player. Butt’s academic authority reveals some fascinating relationships and instrumental colours Kate Molleson - Herald Scotland - 18 December 2013

Album Choice
"this is one of the most stimulating sets of the Brandenburgs we have had Christopher Breunig - Hi-Fi News - December 2013

If you love these works, you’ll be entranced by the excellent quality of the Dunedin Consort and the warm listening experience Kirk McElhearn - MusicWeb-International.com - 10 December 2013

refreshing and illuminatingrich-hued, generous readings Michael Jameson - International Record Review - November 2013

beguiling, ear-catching instrumental colourings Lindsay Kemp - The Classical Ear - 4 November 2013

Gramophone Choice
"Notwithstanding the distinguished Brandenburg discography, this set is nothing short of sensational" David Vickers - Gramophone magazine(Awards Issue) - October 2013

another winner [the] performances and recording [are] first-rate Brian Wilson - MusicWeb-International.com - 8 October 2013

The sound of the Studio Master recordings is absolutely spectacular, with the presence of the instruments almost tangible. As a set of performances, Dunedin’s versions are a good first choice Bangkok Post - 1 October 2013

The results are most compelling" Hugh Canning - The Sunday Times - 6 October 2013

Crisp, freshly thought and very carefully realised without loss of apparent spontaneity Michael Tumelty - The Sunday Herald Scotland - 16 September 2013

a profoundly expressive study in texture and articulation, with the string lines effortlessly and naturally interlaced." ***** Andrew Clements - The Guardian - 11 September 2013

Melodic ideas are beautifully punctuated and phrased, vibrato is used strictly ornamentally, and tempos strike my sensibilities as pretty well ideal." ***** Nicholas Anderson - BBC Music magazine - September 2013

intimate, measured and yet always joyful Andrew Mc Gregor - BBC Radio 3 (CD Review) - 7 September 2013

Featured Album:
"insightful, lithe and crisp, full of dancing rhythms. Classics FM ’Drive’ - 2 September 2013
