Fourth Dimension String Quartet [ASV 1999]
"these players make Goldmark's music sound clear, fluent and intelligible and surmount its challenges with ease and authority …Langdon's neat virtuosity propelling the movement towards a triumphant, rousing conclusion" The Strad
"This debut recording by the Fourth Dimension String Quartet reveals a group that's well balanced and full of technical and interpretative confidence. It's quartet playing of real distinction…I look forward to hearing them again" The Gramophone
"Fourth Dimension do a superb job with both pieces, bringing the textures surgingly alive, making each piece completely convincing - committed, intelligent advocacy" Fanfare
"an auspicious recording debut" BBC Music Magazine
"your attention will most likely be attuned to the Fourth Dimension String Quartet's lithe transparency and feathery articulation. These qualities emerge most tellingly in both third movement scherzos. What an amazingly responsive, fine-tuned, and utterly flexible ensemble they are. This auspicious release constitutes the Fourth Dimension's ASV debut, and I look forward to anything they choose to record. A major addition to the chamber catalog" Jed Distler, classicstoday.com
Ethel Smyth Double Concerto [Chandos 1999]
"Played with consummate eloquence and skill" The Times
"This Chandos issue of two big orchestral works strikes me as even more recommendable, not least to those who have yet to discover [Smyth's] music … With opulent recording and superb playing from both Sophie Langdon and Richard Watkins, not to mention the BBC Philharmonic under de la Martinez in both works, this is a delightful disc to bring home the strong musical character of Dame Ethel even more vividly than previous issues" Gramophone
"My ears hear a masterpiece that deserves concert hall performances. ✩✩✩✩✩" Amazon.com
"Delightful works … the Concerto is especially robust and quite splendid. ✩✩✩✩✩" Amazon.co.uk
Odaline de la Martinez: Asonancias [Lorelt 2009]
"The two pieces for solo violin, Asonancias ('Assonances', 1982, which gives the disc its title) and Improvisations (1977) are cast in three movements, fast-faster-slow, where the central span is Latin in character and the finale quiet and 'tender'. Yet the essential of the two works are quite different with Asonancias opening with a fiery Con bravura succeeded by an obsessive moto perpetuo in a specifically Cuban style … played with compelling virtuosity by Sophie Langdon" Guy Rickards, Tempo
