Cyprien Katsaris (piano)

“A veritable A-Z of French piano works from King Louis XIII to Boulez. Katsaris is a most fascinating musical journey, the barnstorming Liszt/Katsaris arrangement of the Marseillaise being an obvious highlight.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2008 ****

“Take as a whole I found this a wonderfully entertaining programme. Katsaris's… playing has the stamp of an engaging and original personality.” Gramophone Magazine, April 2008

Stefano Bollani (piano)

Filarmonica ‘900, Jan Latham-Koenig

“From best new talent in 1998 to best musician and best album of 2006 in Italy’s Jazz Musica magazine polls, it is safe to say that Stefano Bollani’s star is in the ascendancy…” Ian Patterson on Stefan Bollani

“This is a disc to treasure. Should the Concert champêtre be performed on the piano? Poulenc said no, but did it often. Bollani's lightly pedalled sound is, for me, utterly convincing and the balance between piano and orchestra is ideal.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2007 *****
