The releases below are Gramophone Choices in the July 2012 issue:
|
BIS: BIS-SACD-1844 SCHUBERT, F.: Lieder (Bei dir allein!) (Tilling, P. Rivinius) 
‘Tilling brings a luminous grace to the serene bel canto lines of “Heimliches Lieben” and characterises the lover in “Geheimes” with charm and point, avoiding winsomeness.’ |
|
Chandos: CHAN10709 ELGAR, E.: Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85 / Introduction and Allegro / Elegy / 5 Military Marches, "Pomp and Circumstance" (Watkins)
‘Watkins’s golden-toned and technically flawless contribution strikes a judicious balance between classical poise and unexaggerated depth of feeling’ |
|
Naxos: 8.572861-62 DELIUS, F.: Mass of Life (A) / Prelude and Idyll (J. Watson, Wyn-Rogers, A. Kennedy, Opie, Bach Choir, Bournemouth Symphony, D. Hill)
‘There is a dynamic momentum to the tempi which perfectly evokes Zarathustra’s ruling passion, the Will of Man.’ |
|
Avie Records: AV2231 GAL, H.: Symphony No. 4 / SCHUMANN, R.: Symphony No. 2 (Woods)
‘A factor that comes across clearly here is that Poulenc had a more or less infallible ear for tapping into the timbre and personality of different instruments.’ |
|
BIS: BIS-CD-1763 BACH, CPE: Keyboard Music, Vol. 23 (Spanyi)
‘Brautigam’s interpretations are stunning. He brings stylish character and life to each of the small variation sets and never misses a trick, so to speak.’ |
