I welcome opportunities to listen to new recordings, particularly those featuring baroque and classical repertoire. My strongest area of familiarity is music composed between 1600 and 1800, although I also enjoy contemporary minimalist composers and occasionally venture into other musical territory.
I’m an admirer of historically informed performance, but that doesn’t mean I insist on period instruments. Interesting interpretations of older music on modern instruments can be equally compelling.
I accept advance and prerelease recordings from established and emerging artists. Submission, however, does not guarantee a published review. My general policy is not to publish a review of a recording submitted to me unless I believe I can make a positive or constructive contribution to its reception.
Sharing and quoting reviews: You’re welcome to link directly to reviews published here. If you quote an excerpt in promotional materials, please attribute it to biberfan (all lowercase), the name I use for both the website and its reviewer.
Album cover artwork appears alongside reviews to identify and discuss the recordings. If you’re a rights holder with concerns about the use of an image, please contact me.
