Concerti Brillanti: C.P.E. Bach, Graf, Haydn, Hasse

A well-established concerto and three discoveries, one a minor masterpiece, in excellent performances.

This is an unbeatable combination: a first-class, photogenic young cellist who has already made a reputation for himself teams up with one of the foremost early-music exponents. The programme combines the comparatively well-known C.P.E. Bach Cello Concerto with world-première recordings of three very fine concertos by C.P.E.’s predecessors and successors. Add good orchestral support and a very good recording and you have the recipe for what should make this co-production with Bavarian Radio a best-seller.

'Dynamic and expressive contrasts are carefully and adroitly created and the orchestra meticulously managed. The result is a lovely and technically superior recording, not to mention another star in the crown of the folks at Hyperion' --Fanfare, USA

'Dazzling. Hyperion's perceptive talent-spotting has produced a charming disc from performers virtually new to the catalogue – unreservedly recommended' --BBC Music Magazine

'a recording of airy clarity … a most recommendable disc, with much to enjoy' --International Record Review

'The playing of the Manchester Camerata (on modern instruments) is excellent throughout … They and their oboist conductor support their principal bassoonist with such care and attention that it is fair to call this a labour of love all round. Enjoy' --musicweb.uk.net

'The performances are all sophisticated … a pleasure to listen to' --American Record Guide

Classical Trombone Concertos

“...there is no questioning Lindberg's nimble articulation or feeling for the music...The members of the Australian Chamber Orchestra...provide responsive and charming accompaniments and the programming is nicely balanced.” --BBC Music Magazine

“sensational … one of those recordings which make criticism a glorious irrelevance.” --International Record Review, July 2010 ****
