Fumio Yasuda The Rest is Silence – Music of our Time

The Independent: "Stefan Winter, head of the Winter & Winter boutique label, has a different attitude to popularising classical music. Rather than relying on the familiarity of old favourites, he believes that contemporary classical music is more accessible than its ascetic, atonal reputation suggests, and can find an audience outside its assumed intellectual elite. Hence this compilation of excerpts from the label's catalogue…"
September 7, 2015

MusicWeb International: "Winter & Winter is something of a special case when it comes to record labels, with their elaborate packaging and stylish presentation of a remarkable catalogue of fascinating and adventurous music. I wouldn't normally go for this kind of product but if you are dipping your toes into the vast lake of contemporary music then this is a good place to try out some quality swimwear."
