Editor's Choice - Gramophone
"This is the most enjoyable account of Schubert's Octet I can remember, on disc or in concert ... The sense of a live performance in both Octet and song is beautifully caught. Another fine issue in the Wigmore Hall series" Gramophone
"It was Collins' dexterity that dazzled, fingers leaping, tossing off the decorative flourishes, impossibly nimble" The Times
"Seldom can that famous Shepherd on his rock have sounded so gloriously heartfelt, or married to such mellifluous clarinet tone ... the sound is fine in a live recording with an imperceptible audience till just the right amount of final applause breaks in, not too loudly for comfort. Outstanding notes from Misha Donat complete a treasurable release" International Record Review
