“This set of 25 piano pieces is a particularly ripe expression of Goehr's gift… Pianist Huw Watkins plays them with exactly the right combination of forthright, etched clarity and musing, tender grace.”
October 2007
“The skill with which Goehr controls his harmonic and rhythmic resources remains a quality to savour, and the composer's case is persuasively made by Huw Watkins's meticulous yet warmly expressive playing. Watkins makes this music sound as spontaneous as an improvisation, and the recording, a bit close in focus but clear and adequately resonant, helps to support the poetic impression.”
