‘Internationally recognized French-Canadian pianist Marc-André Hamelin has  … [a] masterful technical control and intriguing interpretive vision as he ventures into the world of Impressionism with a recording of Debussy’s Images (complete) and Préludes, Book II’ (The Whole Note, Canada)» More

‘Hamelin and Debussy are such a perfect fit that this release stands out above the pack. Hyperion’s piano sound is realistic as always, and the pianist’s artistry is beyond criticism. Urgently recommended’ (Fanfare, USA)

‘Hamelin produces solid, commanding recordings of everything he plays, whether it is Busoni or Janacek, making one wonder whether there is anything he can’t play. None of this is empty virtuosity, either, as he seems to shape each phrase with the utmost care. His Debussy is gorgeous, somehow both delicate and vigorous’ (American Record Guide)

‘The modern world has a surfeit of soulless super-virtuosi, the doyen of whom is arguably Marc-Andre Hamelin, it therefore comes as something of a surprise to find that this is a magnificent Debussy recital’ (Classical Source)» More

'Jeux turns out to be Valery Gergiev’s game, set and match' (International Record Review)

'Phenomenal playing throughout and it’s so well recorded' (BBC Radio 3 CD Review)

‘Distinctive and distinguished performances’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘Strongly recommended!’ (Fanfare, USA)

‘Very distinguished playing indeed and must be strongly recommended’ (The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs)

‘Livia Rév … plays with shimmering tonal beauty and faultless technical assurance’ (Classic CD)

«Le miracle de la version de Steven Osborne est en quelque sorte d'unir les magiciens du son et les rigoristes. Immédiatement, son interprétation nous plonge dans des mondes sonores quasiment oubliés depuis Zimerman. Il y a parfois des choses que l'on n'arrive tout simplement pas à croire. J'en suis à cinq écoutes et je n'en reviens toujours pas» (Classics Today France)

‘One of the most memorable discs of the year … Osborne has the full measure of the music in this gloriously played and beautifully recorded disc. His readings of the 24 pieces exude authority and empathy in equal measure, and he finds a wonderful range and depth of tonal colour and texture in the music, delivered with just the right touch and expression. Sensitive and lucid, this is a magnificent achievement to add to the pianist's already substantial reputation’ (The Inverness Courier)
