  PAUL SIMON ‘Meaningful, intelligent and evocative music–Not to mention great piano playing!
  
  GRAMOPHONE January 2008 ‘Extraordinary…harmonically ravishing…a dazzling two-handed ostinato-based piece (where Oscar Peterson and Sergei Prokofiev break bread)… a most stimulating release that stays fresh after countless rehearings’
