Bach Cembalo Concertos
Hay un buen punado de registros de estas obras (conciertos para clave de Bach) que pueden considerarse referencias. Desde este momento Il Pomo d’Oro y Francesco Corti ocupan por derecho propio un sitio de honor en él.

Serse in London 2018
„A Serse like no other from Maxim Emelyanychev and il pomo d’oro“
Their inspirational conductor, Maxim Emelyanychev, is a man on springs: he directs from the keyboard with almost manic intensity (…) the result is truly exciting; the strings and continuo crisp and percussive as a snare-drum, the woodwind mellifluous, jaunty and precise. (…) A „triumphant performance (…)“

„What made the performance special was the livewire conducting and harpsichord playing of the remarkable young Russian Maxim Emelyanychev, (…) as he cajoled edge-of-your-seat and beautifully expressive playing from his brilliant band.“
