The Fifth!

From Bach to Beethoven, from Scarlatti to Shostakovich, plus ourChannel of China series with composers that I will not even begin topronounce: our fifth sampler could not get more varied. For me, this iswhat makes this work so wonderful. To work with top musiciansrecording such a variety of repertoire and composers. I am sure you willagree with me after your first hearing.

Fischer hears the humour,knows how to ease the temposubtly and, in doing so, accen-tuate the dance element (...)Who could resist Fischer’s gailychattering Scherzo or his calm,chastely drawn approach to thelatter half of the Allegretto?Gramophone

It’s time that someone said it:he is among the very greatestconductors of our time. (...)This “Seventh” has appearedon a hybrid SACD. For ChannelClassics that’s more than just agimmick-and it makes this newrecording an even more irresis-tible alternative to any otheravailable version.Knack

(...) the performance of theSeventh ranks, withoutquestion, among the greatestever recorded.The Guardian

Excellent British Bach per-formed with grace and vitality(...) these performances aresprightly, idiomatic, assured,and obviously relished by theplayers. Rarely have I heard amore sensitive “Ich habegenug”. (...)

The playing is superb, and by theway, the sound of the 1858Pleyel piano is magnificent! Notto be missed - this set tran-scends the rather trivial-soundingnomenclature, and definitelyurges one to further explore theriches of Rossini in the remainingseven volumes of the series.Very highly recommended!Audiophile Audition

Giacometti’s technique isassured as ever, smooth, effort-less, and perfectly equalizedbetween both hands (…) Soundis excellent (…) This is a fineway to end a series that hasgiven much pleasure.Fanfare

It’s wonderful to see Rossini’spiano music getting so muchattention, and no one has donemore than Giacometti to win thehigh regard it surely deserves.Essential!Classics Today 10/10

Pieter Wispelwey’s playing is atonce supremely lyrical andfuriously intense, whileFischer's conducting combinesgreat finesse with highRomantic grandeur.Guardian

Here we have an outstandingversion of Dvorák's Cello Con-certo, one to rival any versionin the catalogue and imaginati-vely coupled with the muchearlier Symphonic Variations.Pieter Wispeiwey crowns hisprevious releases in this elec-trifying live recording, brilliantlyaccompanied by the BudapestFestival Orchestra under IvanFischer. An outstanding disc.Gramophone
