REVIEWS
"Playing on modern instruments, the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra and soloist Idith Meshulam Korman present these lovely works in a warm, inviting acoustic, and do so with palpable delight in the music... For both its historical significance and its pure musical quality, this release should find a welcome place in any academic collection."
"The orchestral writing is perfectly positioned to both support and bring out the melodic lines. Both Korman and Ponchione-Bailey have brought out the best of Martines’ works. The final sinfonia added the end is a special treat: its humour, its delicacy, and its melodies should add it to the list of greatest classical works to discover."
"I have now listened to this album several times; and the experience has been consistently engaging. There are even a few “gestural surprises” that spring up every now and then. If Spock were as serious about listening to classical music as I am, I suspect that his eyebrow might get raised more times than I could count!"
"[The artists] honour Martines with these sumptuous renderings. The pianist in particular merits praise for having brought this overlooked figure and her work back into the spotlight and showing why she's deserving of attention. It would be hard to imagine concertgoers not being entirely won over by this consistently charming music."
