Lebrecht’s Album of the Week

The Larghetto’s organic optimism transcends present woes and looks to bright eternity

Taken together, it’s not the kind of music you want to hear in isolation

When asked “which Hindemith should I try first?”, I’m lost for an answer

Intelligent and well played though it is, Franziska Lee’s album of Londonoid piano pieces can’t make a bad sonata better

This debut album is a treat for the senses and a tonic for tired tastes

His concerto is a rag-and-bone man’s barrow trundling down a Haussmann boulevard

The atmosphere is so thick you’d need a charcuterie knife to cut it

This is razzle-dazzle entertainment; keep it by your bedside

Those who listen to music with an open mind are going to have a ball with this

Beauty released by the singer’s larynx is met by plodding fingers on a monochrome keyboard
