‘Demidenko’s full-blooded readings of the D major Prelude and Fugue BWV 532 and the monumental D minor Chaconne from BWV 1004 have the necessary tingle factor, backed by sensational recorded sound’ (Music Week)

‘Nikolai Demidenko performs all the music here with admirable devotion … the playing throughout this enterprising recital cannot be faulted’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘Demidenko plays them all with great panache and limitless technical command, clearly relishing the vast array of colour that Busoni's fertile imagination encourages’ (The Guardian)

‘[Demidenko's] performances capture the smouldering long lines and Gothic grandeur inherent in Busoni's textural transformations of the originals’ (International Record Review)

‘Enthusiastically recommended’ (Fanfare, USA)

«Piers Lane succombe à ce charme, et nous avec lui» (Classica, France)

‘A truly fascinating disc … Lane clearly relishes in the amusing challenges, but he also makes you wonder at the immensity of Bach’s genius’ (Classic FM Magazine)

‘This is wonderfully crafted piano music, marvellously executed by Lane … the playing is always supremely fluid and musically enquiring … this is another fascinating release from Hyperion’ (International Record Review)

‘Wonderful music, consummately transcribed and movingly played’ (International Piano)

‘Lane commands the golden tone and effortless, spirited virtuosity needed to make these transcriptions come alive, and makes them sound easy to boot. A honey of a release’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘Could hardly be more exhilarating or enterprising … a memorable as well as enticing disc’ (Gramophone)

‘In sum, those who have been following Hyperion's series of Bach piano transcriptions should find this a splendid continuation. Since the complete run of Feinbergised Bach couldn't be accommodated on one disc, Hyperion has placed the concerto on a second—but the set is priced as a single CD. It's an act of generosity that other labels would be wise to imitate’ (Fanfare, USA)
