  • International Record Review

    “

    Your eyebrows may well disappear into your scalp as you discover what the composer is capable of. I found McLachlan’s playing to be effervescent and sensitive in equal measure, always clear in its delineation of the more sinewy strands and yet capable of explosive force where asked… inexorable artistry. The sound on the recording suits the idiom splendidly

    “

    The best of it is unlike anything else in music… McLachlan [gives] full-blooded accounts of the more extrovert pieces and fleshes out the thinner ones.

    “

    Chisholm is never content to just take a tune and set it simply; his… classification-resistant… voice is always there. The music is hauntingly evocative and exquisitely delivered by McLachlan. Booklet notes are exemplary. The fine recording captures every nuance of McLachlan’s excellent pianism. Recommended.

    “

    This album maintains the standard of this series, one of the most worth-while integrales in recorded history of pianist/composers. A fine recital programme.

    “

    Erik Chisholm is one of a group of British composers who have been unjustly neglected… his music is original and quiet often groundbreaking. This CD has to be explored slowly and methodically. There is far too much of interest to just play it from the first track to the last. It is virtually impossible to fault this fifth volume of an ongoing series. I have found the recording to be excellent… John Purser’s programme notes are superb. It is altogether a fine production and essential for anyone who is an enthusiast of British piano music. I believe that Erik Chisholm is so important that his music ought to have international status rather than just a local interest. I repeat my assertion that this series of CDs showcase one of the most important ‘musical discoveries and revelations of the Twenty-First Century’
