Christmas 2021
[The Dutilleux] is played here with breathtaking brilliance...the performance of Verklärte Nacht is worth waiting for, its extraordinary attention to detail and clarity never achieved at the expense of tenderness and warmth.
December 2021
With sound of unsparing immediacy and Merlin’s typically provocative notes, this release testifies to the Ébène’s ambition and, moreover, its attainment.
16th October 2021
[Verklärte Nacht is] played with febrile and dramatic intensity and lithe, restless precision. If you don’t know this early Schoenberg, try this recording. If you already boast a shelf full of versions, you still need this one too.
