Grieg, Dvořák and Elgar Holberg Suite and the String Serenades First and foremost, there's the playing of the orchestra. Founded in 2000 by conductor Conrad van Alphen, this is a young outfit, but how tight the ensemble is, and what a lovely sound they produce. Listen to the warm glow given off in the opening Moderato movement of the Dvořák! This disc has given me increasing pleasure. |

| Hartmann Kammerkonzert. Editor's Choice Gramophone! Das Niederländische DoelenKwartet sowie die anderen Solisten und die Sinfonia Rotterdam scheinen die perfekten Interpreten für Hartmanns so eindringliche Kammermusik. Sie leisten Erstaunliches und geben dieser so besonderen Edition auch musikalisch den entsprechenden Status einer Referenzeinspielung. Diese Edition muss man hören! Carsten Dürer - EnsembleORDER |

| Shostakovich Chamber Symphonies "The Barshai Arrangements" The eighth quartet has been over recorded, but this account is one to reckon with. The tenth quartet is even finer: Van Alphen searches out the ambivalence of its pensive opening Moderato and powers through the Allegretto furioso, the passacaglia slow movement evinces an elegiac restraint while momentum in the finale in intently controlled so that the end acknowledges its beginning with an appropriately wistful irony. |

| Vivaldi, Du Puy, Villa-Lobos and Olthuis Bassoon Concertos Bram van Sambeek (bassoon), winner of the Dutch Music Prize! Van Sambeek plays so effortlessly, playfully, lively and musically that one does not understand anymore why the bassoon with its low timbre remains an unusual solo instrument. Mischa Spel - NRC Handelsblad ORDER DOWNLOAD |

| Rodrigo Concierto Madrigal. Editors Choice Gramophone! The Katona Twins (guitar duo) The Concierto Madrigal has been recorded several times, but never better than here. This is a stunning disc, to which the orchestra and recording engineers have made fitting contributions. John Duarte - GramophoneORDER DOWNLOAD |
