"Four Stars ... all performed with the lucidity that is a hallmark of Hill’s playing ... a hugely rewarding and important disc."
- The Guardian
"Five Stars ... a new Messiaen work may be the focus here, but this would be an outstanding recital even without that enticement ... Hill provides a masterclass in capturing a composer's idiom with warmth and humanity."
- BBC Music Magazine
"With a beautiful recorded balance equally capturing the subtle colours and drama of both the music and Peter Hill’s performances, this is both a piano recording of demonstration quality and a musical experience to treasure."
- MusicWeb International
"Editor's Choice ... Hill's realization forms a rewarding substantial centrepiece to this outstanding recital ... the appeal of the disc is greatly enhanced by the exceptional quality of the recording, with every facet of Hill's uncompromisingly extensive expressive range vividly captured."
- Gramophone
In 2012, leading pianist and Messiaen scholar Peter Hill made a remarkable discovery among the composer’s papers: several pages of tightly written manuscript from 1961, constituting a near-complete and hitherto unknown work for piano. Hill was able to fill in some missing dynamics and articulations by consulting Messiaen’s birdsong notebooks and here sets this glittering addition to Messiaen’s piano output in the context both of the composer’s own earlier work and of music by the many younger composers on whom Messiaen was a profound influence, from Stockhausen and Takemitsu to George Benjamin, who like Hill himself worked closely with the composer.
