'What a feast is here! Superb, radiant, colourful singing of a perfect selection of Weelkes' music. A finer selection more persuasively sung would be hard to imagine. Buy it' (Organists' Review) 'Hyperion's recording is excellent and the booklet, with all texts and good notes, is a model' (Classic CD)

The sumptuous resplendence of Dresden shines through in the festive choral works by Jan Dismas Zelenka recorded on the GENUIN classics label by the Marburger Bachchor and L'arpa festante with Nicolo Sokoli conducting. A Magnificat, Christmas Mass and Dixit Dominus setting are featured in the new release. From the highly expressive music, the warm sound of the chorus, the nuanced orchestral accompaniment, the noble singing of the soloists and the convincing overall effect of the recording, there is something appealing to any listener. There is no disputing the high level achieved in this production and the attractiveness of the repertoire - which together will make listeners eager to hear more from these musicians.Early Music Review; "Sokoli draws out very fine performances from his four soloists, a choir bright of timbre and a lively orchestra. I hope they will explore more of Dresden Hofkapelle repertoire."; Early Music Review, December 2011Choir & Organ; "This disc of key sacred works is welcome and the outstanding quality of Zelenka´s music apparent from the outset is matched by the period instruments of L´arpa festante and the soloists under Nicolo Sokoli."; Review on Choir & Organ by Matthew Power, March/April 2012

It was with performances and recordings of the music of Jean Sibelius, his great compatriot, that the Finnish conductor Osmo Vänskä first attracted the attention of a wider international audience. Beginning in the early 1990s, seminal recordings with the Lahti Symphony Orchestra of tone poems and the seven symphonies became synonymous with a new interpretative approach to the composer’s music, with words such as ‘clarity’, ‘intensity’ and ‘freshness’ reappearing in review after review. Vänskä has remained true to Sibelius (and BIS), and recordings made by him over the past 20 years form the backbone of the label’s newly completed Sibelius Edition, but in the meantime his international career has also flourished, including a highly successful partnership with the Minnesota Orchestra. On disc this has resulted in an acclaimed cycle of Beethoven’s symphonies, and most recently with a recording of Bruckner’s Fourth (‘Romantic’) Symphony, which in Pizzicato Magazine was described as ‘exceptional… without doubt one of the finest recordings of the work…’ Now, some 15 years after the appearance of his previous cycle of Sibelius’s symphonies, Vänskä has returned to the works in recording, and with his Minnesota players he has recorded the first disc in a new cycle. The Sibelius expert Robert Layton, in his introduction to the programme, presents the Second Symphony as ‘the symphony by which many music lovers find their way to Sibelius’, and in his discussion of the Fifth he quotes the composer himself, in a comment about symphonic form: ‘a river with innumerable tributaries feeding it before it broadens majestically and flows into the sea’.

„Jej ekspresyjny as w rękawie to umiejętność interpretacji brzmiącej tak naturalnie jak mowa; to rzadki talent, być tak wokalnym nie otwierając nawet na chwilę ust”. – International Record Review

Probably copied around 1200, this songbook was discarded within a generation or so and used as flyleaves for another book. It was poorly written, decayed and damp, marred by stains and the ravages of time, but because the pages were being used for another purpose, some unknown benefactor preserved this wealth of music and poetry. The songbook then remained hidden for some six hundred years.  This recording is an almost complete anthology of songs from the booklet. It isn’t known where it was copied, but it is believed to be an important religious foundation that housed by chance a few unusually keen singers. Many of the pieces are associated with major feasts of the liturgical year, including some which fall in the intensely festive period between Christmas and New Year’s Day. The tone of many of the texts is therefore joyful. ‘A wealth of music and poetry now reunited and brought to life’ (Early Music Today) ‘Gothic Voices at their best … an astonishing and varied collection’ (Gramophone) ‘Helps us to understand how far advanced the music of the 13th century had become, while still appreciating its own brand of beauty. Gothic Voices has the skill to bring it all to life, as they do everything they touch. This is a permanent addition to any good medieval collection’ (Fanfare, USA) ‘A winner. A magical evocation of a lost English 12th-century world’ (Classic CD) ‘Another happy triumph for Christopher Page and his team. As usual with Gothic Voices the singing is seamless and utterly beyond criticism. A perfect hour’s listening’ (International Record Review) ‘A commendable and enjoyable disc’ (Early Music Review) ‘The performances are exquisite—neat, clean, with penetrating tone’ (American Record Guide)
