‘Described by one respected critic as the greatest living pianist, Marc-André Hamelin soars to ever new heights of virtuosity … Hamelin is superbly partnered and recorded, and lovers of lush, romantic melody embellished with hundreds and thousands of winking sequins need look no further’ (Gramophone)

‘Two cello sonatas [Rubinstein's] are undeniably beautiful and are played with much expertise by these fine players’ (American Record Guide)

‘Performances of rare precision, fluency, and Romantic warmth’ (Fanfare, USA)

‘Bárta and Milne produce glorious readings of both works, each seeming to relish the sonorities he is producing, Bárta spinning effortless arches of sound and Milne managing to combine warmth and detail. The Hyperion recording is sensitive and truthful … warmly recommended’ (International Record Review)

‘These two lavishly inventive and free-flowing cello sonatas reveal how sorely underestimated Rubinstein's legacy has been. They are more than equivalent to the cello sonatas of Chopin, Mendelssohn and Rachmaninov … in Jiří Bárta's hands it speaks to us across the centuries with a radiant ardour’ (BBC Music Magazine)

«Howard est à la fois un prodigieux virtuose et un poète capable de faire surgir de délicates visions de l'ivoire. Si l'on ajoute un imparable sens de la construction conférant une solide assise à ces édifices apolliniens, on comprend que ces sonates ont trouvé avec lui leur référence» (Diapason, France)

‘Leslie Howard understands Rubinstein's range of temperament very well indeed and I cannot think of another pianist whose advocacy could have been more persuasive … a notable pianistic achievement whose effect is heightened by Hyperion's lifelike digital recording’ (Gramophone)

„While Rubinstein’s Piano Quartet op 55bis lacks some rhetoric power, Leslie Howard and his three string partners have much more to say in the opus 66: here the listener finds a lot of dramatic force“ (Pizzicato, Luxembourg)

«Les qualitées réclamées par Rubinstein sont comparables: panache, fougue, enthousiasme, puissance. Leslie Howard les possède à un haut degré. Il y a joint une délicatesse du toucher et une facilité pour un timbre moelleux qui font merveille dans les pages de caractère, alors qu'un rubato discret confère à la musique ce frémissent du coeur sans lequel il n'est pas de véritable romantisme» (Diapason, France)

‘Warmly recommended’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘Two exceedingly well-filled discs give us the cream of Rubinstein's piano music, beginning with the delicious Melody in F, his most famous composition’ (Classic CD)

‘Vassily Savenko is something rather special … superb recital exploring a wide repertoire … an ideal introduction to the wealth of Russian song’ (Classic CD)
