"Here's another fresh slant on Elgar's masterly Sea Pictures, this time a most persuasive first recording employing a make voice… With this exemplary diction, unflustered poise and focused tone… Konrad Jarnot forges an instinctive alliance with the admirable Reinild Mees, who accompanies with stylish understanding. Amanda Roocroft... contributes very creditably..."
Gramophone Magazine - April 2008

"Konrad Jarnot is mesmerising in the opening slumber, and with noble tones from pianist Reinid Mills he makes Elizabeth Barrett Browning's 'Sabbath Morning at Sea' more persuasive than I've ever heard it."
