«Aucun génie dans cette musique, mais du savoir-faire, des orchestrations inventives qui la font bien sonner et des parties de piano vives, virtuoses, joyeuses, et jouissives pour l'auditeur. Howard Shelley est une fois de plus l'homme de la situation: sérieux comme un pape, suffisamment virtuose pour ne pas transpirer, il porte cette musique avec la foi du charbonnier» (Diapason, France)» More
