Spotlight on this release

Awards and reviews

July 2023

At its centre sits Ernő Dohnányi’s Variations on a Nursery Song, a concertante piece that u se s ‘ Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’ as its theme. Domingo Hindoyan, Kanneh-Mason and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra bring out the humour of this evocative and charming piece, reminding us why the 1914 work was once so popular.
4 out of 5 stars

August 2023

It makes for a delightful programme that will appeal to those of riper years as much as it will to children...It is so good to see someone of Isata Kanneh-Mason’s generation championing this once-popular work [Dohnányi’s Variations], now puzzlingly neglected. And this account is right up there with the best.
