"Having been established in Corrèze since 1999, English composer Roger Steptoe enjoys an ever-growing reputation. He has worked extensively with Jérôme Devaud and the Forum Sinfonietta, and here they have produced their first recording together, with three radically different works that form an excellent introduction to Steptoe’s world. … The young musicians are equal to the soloists and the conductor moulds the sound with astonishing richness, given the economy of means, and admirable fluidity."

"Hamann Armatango pays tribute to the bandoneon player and composer, Albert Hamann. The collection of works selected here allows the listener to discover a very personnal composing style, melancholic in the torment of the Argentinean tango. The quality of this recording allows the listener to appreciate all its subtlety and richness, by means of the flawless interpretations."

"The rapport between organ and orchesra is proclaimed here ; it is at the heart of the harmony and balance inviting the listener, who is immediately transported into a world of exceptionnally warm sound and tone... It is also an opportunity to discover the Forum Sinfonietta, young professionnal musicians who have been brought together under the strong leadership of Jérôme Devaud. The choice of Rheinberger is as rare in France as it is convincing.
The spirit of this late romantic music shines ; an ambitious attempt, succeded, a tour de force"

"Saxiland is the name of album released by the Diaphase Quartet with the Forum Sinfonietta. Offering a diverse and comprehensive program, this recording is a chance, for young and not so young, to discover or rediscover the saxophone quartet formation and string ensemble. From the extremely lively and dancable Sketch by Roger Boutry to Ferrer Ferran's Saxiland, we are invited on a wonderful journey into the world of imagination, and the players interpret the music with great quality and consistent....To add to this, the sound of this recording is excellent. One to discover"
