“… the Piano Quintet and Nonet in particular are assured, determinedly structured and richly scored statements, abundant in melody and a gutsy inner harmonic strength… The Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective… clearly love performing this music … they take the listener on joyful and impassioned journey – great players cherishing special music for a new generation to discover…”

“… the Concerto is a riot of diverse influences and allusions … Sicroff shows he has the measure of the score and the technique to cope with its not inconsiderable demands. His account is barnstorming in the best sense; richly coloured and virtuosic. The Lviv National Philharmonic of Ukraine provides fine support for this hidden gem of its culture and is in finer form still for the earliest work here, the delightful Scherzo fantastique, of 1929… Nimbus’ sound is excellent throughout.”

“… [Despax] proves an eloquent soloist with a fine aura whenever it is his turn to shine. His account of the First Concerto’s Romance is poised and expressive… His playing of the Second Concerto is no less graceful and pleasing.”

“… His [Lortie] touch is light and flexible, with mercurial shifts in tempo and shading. The Mazurkas are particularly intimate and conversational… the Tarantelle … comes off impressively thanks to Lortie’s pianism. It can easily sound awkward, but here it goes like the wind. The seldom-heard Rondo Op 16 is an intricate piece here dazzlingly played…”
