"Austbø belongs to the very foremost of Norwegian pianists, which in spite of this national reservation means quite a lot. It is rare to hear such richness of touch and sonority as with Austbø, where everything is at the service of the musical expression. Pianissimo passages are played around with in a way that only the the best can achieve."
Trond Arne Pettersen - Adresseavisen (Trondheim)
"Apart from his idiomatic readings of the best known works (the Gnossiennes are particularly distinguished), Austbø offers us the Sarabandes and the Préludes du Nazaréen, the first of which is an austere and haunting masterpiece. After the Prélude de la Porte Héroique du Ciel, which is less portentous than the title might suggest, the recital ends with the brief Pièces Froides and the wistful Petite Ouverture à Danser. This is an excellent disc, especially when offered at such a low price." MusicWeb
