Each week, PARMA has the pleasure of presenting powerful works by our artists and seeing the positive impact that they have on listeners. Read on for a selection of what the press had to say about the latest releases from the PARMA family of labels.
“Janková lets the songs’ simplicity stand, shaping phrases with a careful, almost conversational sense of pacing… her timbre, both clean and unforced, bright at the core but sharp at its edges.”
“A prolific composer… His compositional gifts are confirmed in the Piano Quintet, four substantial movements that are masterfully structured, rich in thematic and harmonic design, and thoroughly Brahmsian in style.”
“The accessible listening experience inspires not only a deeper love for the music with each listen but, because of Kleinig’s authenticity, an understanding of the composer and player herself.”
“There’s an ample offering of contemplative piano music, prettily pairing Gendel’s lyricism in his instrument’s higher octaves with Treviño’s lustrous lower voice.”
“beautifully performed and recorded exchanges between various brass instruments and excellent piano work of Yoko Hirota.”
“Clark approaches the repertoire with a clear pulsation and an expressive intelligence,”

“An emotional body of work that embraces meticulous, orchestral dynamics, there is plenty of passion, power and expressiveness to absorb.”
