“… Performances are excellent, with Triendl’s tremendous musicianship wending its way through all three works.”

Isabel Herzfeld – Piano News (Germany) – May/June 2021

“… Oliver Triendl is an exemplary advocate for these long-forgotten works. His account of the Concerto with the Berlin RSO under Roland Kluttig is first-rate, while his excellent rapport with the Vogler Quartet results is some delightful and superbly balanced playing.”

Guy Rickards – International Piano – March/April 2021

“… this [Piano Quartet] is a work that certainly deserves to get out more. The most successful performance on this album is the Piano Concerto … Here Triendl is entirely at home with the work’s mix of Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto with an iridescence of Debussy’s youthful Fantaisie for piano and orchestra. Roland Kluttig is an expert partner-in-crime, getting the pacing just right and allowing Triendl to shine in passages such as the first movement’s lyrically surging piano melody (from 5’48”) to which the winds are added to subtle effect…”

Harriet Smith - Gramophone magazine - March 2021

“… his [Catoire] works are attractive and well worth hearing. These performances certainly make an excellent case for them: the pianist Oliver Triendl has no problems with the often demanding piano writing. In the concerto Roland Kluttig and his radio orchestra provide good support and in the two chamber works the Vogler Quartet make excellent partners and play with a will. No complaints about the recording, though different teams and venues were used for the concerto from the chamber works. The disc is handsomely presented with a cover sleeve and altogether this is a quality production.”

Stephen Barber – MusicWeb-International.com – 11 March 2021

“This is undoubtedly specialist repertoire, and will not be to every taste (this reviewer has to admit to not being seduced by Catoire’s music); there is, however, no denying its sheer craftsmanship and musicality. Although the originality of Georgi Catoire’s musical language paved the way for Russian modernism, his output still followed the artistic ideals of Russia and not the new culture of the Soviet Republic.”

Barry Forshaw – cdchoice.co.uk – 29 January 2021

“… this CD is an important contribution to making Catoire’s music accessible and immediately attractive at a high level.” ****
