"Ralph van Raat's sensitive and technically refined performance has been captured very nicely on this CD, and while Hans Otte's own recording may ultimately be preferable I can't imagine anyone having any complaints about this disc at budget price. If you want something to take you to places way beyond the daily grind, or are seeking an open door into contemporary music, this is a fine place to start."
(recording of the month MusicWeb Jan 2011)
Hans Otte is a German composer, pianist, sound sculptor, poet and radio promoter and The Book of Sounds is one of his most hauntingly beautiful and original piano compositions.
