Cmajor: DVD 743308, Blu-ray 743404—”La Scala’s Orchestra under the direction of Marc Minkowski plays beautifully from start to finish…and his connectivity between singers and orchestra is seamless” —John Holland

ArtHaus Musik 109338—”Michèle Losier’s Dorabella is a beautifully sung and witty characterization of a young girl whose natural impulses churn to break through the veneer of her romantic idealism right from the start” —Wayne Gooding

Alpha 293—Barbara Hannigan’s performance brings a “compelling emotional arc— and the precision of her delivery is breathtaking.” —Wayne Gooding

Alpha 379—Robert Gleadow relishes “every note and nuance of Mozart’s great buffo role, and comes across as the performance’s dramatic anchor.” —Wayne Gooding

Cmajor: DVD 743308, Blu-ray 743404—With director Robert Carsen’s production of Der Rosenkavalier, we now witness “the swansong of the Austrian Empire in the late 19th century with all the lavishness and decadence of the period” —John Holland

London Symphony Orchestra 0790 “It’s a supple and subtle performance, and one of its strongest assets is the consistently high standard of the orchestral playing.” —Wayne Gooding

“Wiliford sings beautifully in what one might call the ‘Aldeburgh style.’ It’s light, clear, sensitive and every word is clearly audible…it does the music full justice.” —John Gilks

“It’s rhythmically inventive, almost jazzy in places but always quite ethereal.” —John Gilks

“It’s a hugely enjoyable disc and highly recommended.” —Joseph So

“Soprano Jane Archibald brings exceptionally beautiful tone and phrasing, as well as perennially clear annunciation, to these mystical songs. She seems ideally suited in a work that exploits her enormous range. Just magical” —Rick MacMillan
