Tunnicliffe never loses sight of these dialogues and you hear a different one each time you visit it. In fact, this is one of the beauties of the disc...the warmth of Tunnicliffe's tone and self-evident, painstaking thought behind every phrase can bring you closer to this beautiful music. In fact, this intellectual connection with the music is the strongest selling-point of Tunnicliffe's recording...He also brings to it the soaring joy it needs.

June 2012

It is the thoughtfulness and absence of overbearing rhetorical posturing that makes Tunnicliffe's clear-sighted and unexaggerated approach seem totally convincing...[Suite No. 6] is a fitting culmination to a vivid, sometimes reflective but above all personally involving cycle in which the unfettered joy of musical rediscovery is given free rein...His music notes, by the way, are quite as fascinating and informative as the performances themselves.

Asugust 2012

a splendid performance from Richard Tunnicliffe that is certainly worthy of very close scrutiny indeed. Robust, rounded, resonant, rich and quietly perceptive, it captivates from the first bars...his unassuming yet undeniable insight into this great music...make[s] this a recording to get to know and enjoy alongside the established milestone CDs.

25th March 2012

clear-sighted, intelligently informed yet emotionally engaged performances. His virtuosity in the faster movements is easy, though not casual, his degree of interpretative intervention gauged beautifully so that grandeur does not become grandiosity and the momentous sarabandes are reflective, not self-indulgent.
