"... well up to usual label standards. The vast majority of the pieces in this very varied but expertly arranged recital do indeed justify their billing as masterpieces ... almost totally achieves what it sets out to do and is one which will definitely repay repeated listening ... at least four of the pieces included, those by Tormis, Thompson, Poulenc and Hillborg, in their quite different ways, scale the very highest heights of artistic achievement. Some of the others are not so far behind ... invaluable and pretty much indispensable. Great stuff!"
