‘Sparkling performances … his playing is by turns gloriously extrovert and affectionately intimate … superbly recorded orchestral colours’ (BBC Music Magazine)
‘As in his four-disc set of Glazunov's complete solo piano music, Stephen Coombs is poetic and powerful. The rare Goedicke concertante makes a charming filler’ (The Guardian)
„Stephen Coombs is on scintillating form throughout, turning even the most standardised of virtuoso gestures into remarkable utterances“ (Piano, Germany)
