‘Chandos have provided a particularly brilliant recording of the solo piano, and the orchestral sound is very good.’

Gramophone

‘[Margalit] draws a most beautiful and varied tone-quality from her instrument, and there is a particular flexibility of colour in her clear, elegant technique, and a sensitivity in her use of phrase which enables her to illumine Brahms’s musical argument in a very alive immediate fashion.’

‘These are bold and muscular performances… More than most pianists she manages, largely through her superb control of dynamics, to draw the first movement of the Saint-Saëns in a single arch.’
