"I constantly admired his near-orchestral range of sonority - his strength in grandiloquence and his hypnotic sustaining power in intimacy. Everything is played with total conviction"
(Gramophone)

"Even if it contained nothing but the [early version of the] Consolations, this volume would be one of the most revelatory in the series ... A major contribution to the catalogue. Enthusiastically endorsed"
(Fanfare)
