“Richter and the members of the Borodin quartet, joined by veteran Georg Hörtnagel, recorded this "Trout" live in 1980, and EMI has now reissued it on their Redline budget series with Richter's classic "Wanderer Fantasie" from 1963 as a filler. ”

“Like a good wine, good music must also mature. Consciously or unconsciously, Trio Parnassus which was formed in 1982 has followed this maxim in the course of its almost 20-year history. Perfection, love of detail, a keen feeling for moods, and a taste for discovery is what distinguishes Yamei Yu {violin), Michael Gross (cello) and Chia Chou (piano). The reaction of the public and the critics was correspondingly enthusiastic in 1996 at the New York debut in the Great Performers Series at the Lincoln Center, in 1997 at the Masters Series at the London Wigmore Hall, and in 1999 at the National Gallery’s Chamber Music Series in Washington.”

“This Seventh, captured on November 29, 1979, is simply stunning--one of those live events that can't be predicted or even truly rehearsed. They just happen. Although the timings are virtually identical to the Leningrad performance, Kondrashin's more flexible pulse gives this particular event something of the wild excitement of Scherchen's wretched live Toronto recording (another performance beloved by those who regard high technical standards as a barrier to expression), only with predominantly fabulous playing...”

“Ms. Tanyel should be lauded for rescuing these exquisite piano pieces by Moszkowski from obscurity. While Horowitz had done much to puplarize such miniatures as "Etincelles" and a few from the "15 Etudes de Virtuosites," Tanyel's essay of the less-trodden Moszkowski affords music lovers a tempting glimpse of his prolific writings for the piano.”

Her playing is now deep and probing, now soaringly lyrical and singing, now jaunty and agile. This is a performer with the ability to express an outstanding depth and range of emotions. We live in an age of great cellists, and Ms. Harnoy is one of them." -- American Record Guide”

He helped usher the classical guitar into the modern age. ”
