"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"
"It was Collins’ dexterity that dazzled, fingers leaping, tossing off the decorative flourishes, impossibly nimble"
"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"
