Press Reviews

Collectors Reviews

"'Chandos' championship of Yoshimatsu's music continues with these world premiere recordings. The Age of Birds is the atmospheric, richly scored final work of his 'Bird Trilogy', of which Chikap (the word for bird in the Ainu aboriginal language) is the second. The Cello Concerto is a dark, pensive work, not for the casual listener. Exemplary sound engineering."

Classic FM Magazine

"'This [cello concerto] is an offhand and inelegant designation for some singularly elegant music...with Peter Dixon as soloist in this striking work which is deceptive in its apparently innocuous tonality."
