EM RECORDS - EMR CD001
"Luck and Rickard offer an ideal combination of enterprising programming, some impressive musical archaeology to bring these works to life, and superb playing. This fine disc is a complete success and can be very warmly recommended to anyone with a serious interest in British music".
International Record Review
"There is nothing tentative about these performances which are highly skilled and completely dedicated and immersed. ...
EM records have started out magnificently with this disc. We must hope to hear much more of Luck and Rickard. Let them continue to explore and harry the periphery rather than being drawn to the well-served ‘great and good’".
MusicWeb International
"A warm welcome for the first release in the English Music Festival’s recording label, EM Records. Three violin sonatas kick-start this welcome enterprise, Rupert Luck and Matthew Rickard securing persuasive renditions of pieces by Arthur Bliss, Henry Walford Davies and York Bowen. ...
With fine and committed performances, and a full and well-balanced recording, this release is a good start to a label that will hopefully run and run and indeed capture “The Spirit of England”."
