‘This is bejewelled writing carried off with spiritual and technical mastery by Milne’ (MusicWeb International)

‘This is one of the very best entries in Hyperion’s ongoing survey, and I’m pleased to recommend it to you without the slightest hesitation’ (American Record Guide)

‘Milne, as usual, offers resilient rhythms and tightly focused phrasing marked by a refreshing attention to detail … you’re unlikely to hear a better performance of this repertoire in the foreseeable future’ (Fanfare, USA)

‘With the risk of the laser beam totally ruining this new Hyperion release from repeated playing, I am now prepared to throw away a few more symphonies just to make room for more Lyapunov’ (Pianist)

‘A disc as beautiful as it is comprehensive … throughout, Hamish Milne holds his head high, lucidly and affectionately commanding cascades of notes, and he is stylishly partnered by Martyn Brabbins’ (Gramophone)

‘Russian melodic flavour, colourful orchestration and sonorous piano writing is present in abundance throught this very welcome release … the combination of Lyapunov's complete piano-and-orchestra output on one disc, in excellent performances and superb recorded sound, make a favourable recommendation mandatory’ (International Record Review)

‘Yet another programme that makes incomprehensible the narrow choice of 19th-century piano concertos heard in our concert halls today’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘Another consistently, thoroughly enjoyable Hyperion disc of discovery. The sound is demonstration class, with a floorboard-cracking bass end’ (BBC Music Magazine Top 1000 CDs Guide)

‘Yet again Hyperion successfully rediscovers one of our neglected Victorian composers … admirers of Hyperion's earlier efforts need not hesitate to buy this’ (Classic CD)

‘Seta Tanyel's thoughtful and richly coloured new performances make a distinguished addition to the catalog … a winner. Strongly recommended’ (Fanfare, USA)

‘The Piano Concerto No 2 is a barnstorming, big-hearted, tune-filled warhorse of a piece that audiences would love if they heard it’ (Punch)

‘[Tanyel] can totally identify with this kind of post-Lisztian lyric bravura style’ (BBC Music Magazine)
