‘The Planets is beautifully performed, the Hallé on fine form and radiantly strong in Mars, Jupiter and Holst’s swansong, the Lyric Suite’ (Yorkshire Post)

‘Wonderfully imaginative [Pluto]—a lightning-fast scherzo that grows out of the dying moments of a preceding Neptune and finally evaporates as mysteriously as it started’ (The Guardian)

'Disco absolutamente recomendable a todos los amigos de la polifonia, qie se encontraran con 73 minutos de buena musica bellamente interpretada' (CD Compact, Spain)

‘Stunningly beautiful’ (Organists' Review)

‘Jonathan Plowright's sumptuous range of colours and dynamic control [is] much in evidence … any pianophile will surely find it interesting to have a glimpse into music by the composers of the day. One can find no fault, too, with Hyperion's well-balanced, warmly recorded sound’ (International Record Review)

‘This is an enchanting follow-up to Jonathan Plowright’s 'Hommage à Chopin' disc (CDA67803), and, like that one, it is an eclectic mix of music focused on a central figure … many of the composers have now disappeared into the mists of time, but all of these miniatures are well worth the warmth, affection, lyrical beauty and bravura that Plowright devotes to them … the 24 tracks also include music by Britten, Bartók and Milhaud, adding to a disc that makes a welcome change in being conceived with such imagination. Plowright’s playing throughout is sublime’ (The Daily Telegraph)

‘Performances of a superlative technique and musicianship. Pianism and sheer musical quality of this order are rare at any time, and Hyperion's recordings … are exemplary’ (Gramophone)

‘This is a fascinating document. Pieces by Martinů and Castelnuovo-Tedesco are among the gems … overall more reflective than virtuosic, this disc allows Plowright to show off his superb command of texture and colour’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘This young British pianist confirms his place at the top table with an outstanding recital’ (Daily Mail)

‘This third recital album from Benjamin Grosvenor is every bit as pianistically brilliant as its precedents, showing off his fluid virtuosity, musical sensitivity and fearless approach’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘A fabulous representative of the expressive Old School who just happens to be one of our finest younger pianists—about the best around, in my view. A real master of keyboard colour: Benjamin Grosvenor. Magnificent playing’ (BBC Radio 3 Essential Classics)

‘It is an indescribable and almost surreal leap into a cosmology of sounds, each apparent resonance spawning a new sound world’ (Le Devoir)
