Sviatoslav Richter (piano) Borodin Quartet “There’s no denying that both these performances exude class… Virtually ideal intonation, matching of timbres and solidity of tone are the hallmarks of the Borodin’s Death and the Maiden… Recording quality is outstanding: rich,
yet clear and believable.” Gramophone Magazine |

| |  | Verbier Festival Highlights 2007
The Verbier Festival, created in 1994, rapidly acquired a reputation for artistic excellence and is now
considered to be among the major European music festivals. During a fortnight each July, the greatest stars of
the classical music world come together against the magical backdrop of the Swiss Alps. The Verbier Festival gives musicians the opportunity to perform original programmes with fellow musicians
they admire, but with whom they may never have performed before.These world première performances
produce innovative and exciting results, as much for artists as for audiences. Through the Academy, the Verbier Festival invests in the talents of young artists, while creating, and promoting
excellence in the performing arts. “In just a few years, the Verbier Festival has built up a reputation for quality, youth and frenetic artistic activity. We are proud regularly to welcome artists who are well-known all round the world, who so enjoy coming to play for us.” Martin T:son Engstroem, Festival Director “Whatever the reason, Verbier attracts great artists and inspires them to new heights, helped by the canny casting of the festival founder and artistic director Martin Engstroem. Martha Argerich… is absolutely astounding in the finale of Bartók's Sonata for Violin and Piano No 1 with a demonically driven Renaud Capuçon. ...Nelson Freire, offers a tender, one might say avuncular, view of Debussy's Children's Corner, a contrast to the glacial Hélène Grimaud in Schumann and Ravel, and Evgeny Kissin's Liebesträume No 3 where love is clearly a cross to be borne (though his Bizet-Horowitz Variations justifiably raise the roof). Rounding off proceedings is a fired-up Joshua Bell in the finale of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto. Visually, the camerawork is efficient and nothing more.” Gramophone Magazine, 2008 Awards Issue |

Elisabeth Leonskaja, Rudolf Buchbinder, Phillippe Entremont & Georg Hörtnagel Alban Berg Quartett “A variable success. Whilst the Alban Berg Quartet perform with beauty of tone an incisive ensemble, Leonskaja lacks real charm in the Schubert and her Brahms fails to deliver.” BBC Music Magazine, July 2008 *** | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |

Leif Ove Andsnes (piano) Artemis Quartet “With an almost ideal balance between piano and strings, the variety of articulation in their playing brings a marvellous textural variety to the full-blooded writing in the outer movements of the Brahms. …the performances… can be confidently recommended as among the finest modern recordings of both works.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2007 *****  BBC Music Magazine
