This is great music, delivered with great performances. These recordings deserve to live again, and I'm glad Alto chose to revive them.

Thwaites writes in an accessible, tonal style that effectively conveys emotion. And emotion is what her works are about.

Heinrich August Marschner: Ripe for Reevaluation

I found this collection to be both entertaining and enlightening. Entertaining, because if you love Offenbach, you'll find a lot to like here. And enlightening, because I found there was much more to this composer than the term "transitional" suggests.
