“…Pianist Stefano Greco brings life and meaning to each work on the program, all of which are recording premieres. Technical challenges are overcome with apparent ease, while the simple Lullaby and Song Without Words are delivered with enchanting allure…”

“… The Etudes are miniature gems (each never more than six minutes in length) and what strikes the listener most immediately is the appealing range of contrasting moods …  Throughout, Greco demonstrates full command of this unfamiliar repertoire. The Piano Fantasy is based on the final chorus of Bach’s St. Matthew Passion and is a true fantasy with its abruptly contrasting tempos and dynamics. The piece demands considerable virtuosity at times, but again, Greco meets the challenges with formidable technique.  Rounding out the program are the Lullaby and Song Without Words which show yet another side of Danielpour’s compositional style. Gentle and unassuming, these short pieces provide a fitting conclusion. Kudos to both Naxos and Greco for bringing to light some music that definitely warrants greater investigation.”

“… These are rewarding piano works from one of America’s leading composers. Stefan Greco gives superb performances …”
