“She manages to combine a sense of historical awareness and clarity with real musicality and panache… superb performances, characterised by clarity, style, and responsiveness. Her unforced, natural artistry and dynamic pianism place this performance in the first rank. All in all, this is a wonderful disc…superbly engineered to audiophile standards.” - Musey Room

“A very special disc... Katharine Durran's a Bachian of luminous integrity and unforced nobility, who captures his capriciousness and occasional obsessiveness with equal insight.” - Daniel Stearns (Piano Magazine)
