Reviews

Read the latest reviews about the CD

“…the London-based Brazilian pianist Clélia Iruzun is on notably deft form in the Concertino.”
Andrew Achenbach, Gramophone, 2011

“The Concertino for Piano and Chamber Orchestra, composed in 1928 is easier to assimilate; faster moving and more cleanly orchestrated. Brazilian pianist Clélia Iruzun is a confident soloist.”
Graham Rickson, The Arts Desk, 2011

Brazilian pianist Clelia Iruzun plays with vitality and shows the strength of Maconchy’s thinking. I can’t praise this disc highly enough.
