                  CD of the Month
"...this immensely valuable and downright enjoyable CD of performances by John McCabe... A lovely record."

Musical Opinion - July/August 2009


"...a fitting testimonial to a truly great pianist."

Guy Rickards - Gramophone magazine - Featured Review


"A marvellous collection of relatively unfamiliar works by diverse composers, most of whom wrote little music for piano. McCabe is an outstanding advocate, effortlessly capturing the spirit of these assorted gems."

BBC Music Magazine


"...John McCabe’s intuitive yet thoughtful and persuasive pianism serves all the composers admirably, and his incisive and informative booklet notes round off a delightful release.

Richard Leigh Harris - International Piano magazine


"...piano playing of immense subtlety and in tegrity. The programme notes, by McCabe himself, are imbued with the same modesty and unassuming brilliance that marks the whole programme."

Nicholas Salwey - International Record Review
