‘Another fine addition to the Hyperion treasure-house of vocal recordings’ (The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs)

‘A prize release for English song connoisseurs’ (Music Week)

‘I enjoyed this release: it is quite a treat for the curious listener’ (International Record Review)

‘The performances are superb, with neat, exciting playing … this disc cannot be recommended too highly’ (Early Music Review)

‘Sheer delight. Anyone who enjoys Haydn should find himself happily at home in these works’ (Crisis, USA)

„A thoroughly delightful disc“ (Piano, Germany)

‘Stephen Coombs is at least as fine as any artist to appear from Russia in all the past 20 years. Sonics are excellent and the booklet brimming with interest’ (In Tune, Japan)

'Ambas obras permiten el lucimiento del solista, y lógicamente Coombs no ha dejado escapar la oportunidad para ofrecernos unas versiones majestuosas, rebosantes de sonoridad, dotadas de un magnetismo evidente' (CD Compact, Spain)

‘One of the finest releases in Hyperion's ongoing series of Romantic piano concertos. There's no reason why these pieces aren't standard repertoire, especially in performances like this: Coombs literally plays the pants off both of them, and Ossonce matches him lick for lick. It's the genuine article, a true discovery, a collector's dream’ (Classical Pulse)

‘A thoroughly delightful piece, well worth reviving, here perfectly coupled. A delight’ (The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs)

‘Coombs believes implicitly in both compositions and his restrained brand of pearly virtuosity (right for the music) added to a considerable musical sensibility puts forward a persuasive case’ (Hi-Fi News)

‘Hyperion is to be congratulated for adding this work to its growing series of Hahn compositions … high spirits and joy aplenty … another Romantic Piano Concerto winner from Hyperion; heartily recommended’ (Fanfare, USA)
