We are thrilled to announce that two of our PENTATONE releases have been awarded the prestigious Diapason d’Or in the latest October issue!
“Bruckner & Klose String Quartets” with Quatuor Diotima
“This marvel is all the more commendable as the Diotima Quartet provides it with luxurious company by bringing together everything Bruckner wrote for string quartet.”
“Williams: Violin Concerto No. 1 & Bernstein: Serenade” featuring James Ehnes, St. Louis Symphony Orchestra & Stéphane Denève
“Moral, eloquence, mythology of love—does the composer not reside entirely within this miracle of ‘non-orchestration’ (strings and percussion, precisely measured)? Not only does the Canadian virtuoso refine the nuances, distinguishing with innate precision the dolcissimo from the tranquillo, and inhabiting each motif as a discerning connoisseur, but Stéphane Denève, leading a well-recorded St. Louis Symphony, provides a brilliant counterpoint.”
