'The eminent pedagogue and performer Alexander Goldenweiser stars in his own marque in this release' (MusicWeb International)

‘Hamish Milne believes in this music 125 percent, and he sails through the composer’s daunting challenges with complete technical command and a gorgeous tone to match’ (Classics Today)

«On a envie de remercier le pianiste Hamish Milne pour son interprétation magnifique, très soignée, et surtout pour nous permettre de découvrir une musique aussi belle, doucement expressive et envoûtante» (Répertoire, France)

‘Sumptuous recording, with brilliant and thoughtful playing by Hamish Milne … piano enthusiasts looking for new material – especially those interested in Russian music – will certainly enjoy this’ (American Record Guide)

‘Hamish Milne, on this new Hyperion release is a persuasive advocate for this music … recommended? But of course, and let’s hope that more Alexandrov appears, and soon’ (Fanfare, USA)

‘Imagine a cab ride where the driver is in the same league as Formula One driver Michael Schumacher. There’s something similar to be said for this Hyperion release, in which we have the privilege to hear a forgotten but phenomenal composer through the mind of such a distinguished and world-class pianist as Hamish Milne’ (Pianist)

‘Milne expounds all this music … with evident affection and belief, and with all the musicality and technical mastery it demands, in an absolutely first-rate recording’ (International Piano)

‘Hamish Milne’s poetic insight comes as no surprise … this is rather a find … civilised, rewarding listening, warmly recommended to anyone for whom aesthetic novelty matters less than purely musical value’ (Gramophone)

‘This is altogether exceptional playing … it made me want to dust down my two volumes of Alexandrov's music and take them straight to the piano to find out what other treasures they have in store. May it please be the first of several’ (International Record Review)

«Les tourbillons imaginés par Alkan sont bien rendus (notamment l'élan de la Saltarelle)» (Diapason, France)

‘Both sonatas benefit from Gerhardt's lovely, focused tone and Osborne's nimble fingerwork’ (The Boston Globe, USA)

‘Osborne is simply a fantastic musician … simply astounding, binding his phrases in a way that eluded Barenboim, while providing just as much rhythmic acuity … Kenneth Hamilton has written an outstanding analysis of both works that I commend to your attention … Hyperion's sound quality is completely natural; one almost feels that there is no mechanical wall between performers and listener. This is an outstanding disc’ (Fanfare, USA)
