Reviews

'Jeremy Filsell confesses that through featuring repertory that has remained in his consciousness ever since he 'could first reach the piano's keys and pedals simultaneously' this recording represents 'the sum of a personal musical journey'. Such close identification with what he terms 'Rachmaninov's inexhaustible variety of expression' is strongly reflected in his well-chosen and warmly recorded programme which inevitably includes many familiar favourites' (BBC Music Magazine)» More

'In many ways, the readings are eloquently persuasive. He's certainly got the measure of Rachmaninoffs dark colors (try the sonata's glowering middle movement), and his handling of texture is often beguiling' (Fanfare, USA)» More
