(of Schiff’s Bach) “I never recall hearing Bach better played on a piano. He has obviously profited from the return to the baroque style exemplified by modern harpsichordists, (he studied with George Malcolm) but bearing in mind that Bach on the piano must be in the nature of a modern arrangement he is sparing with baroque conventions.”(Gramophone).

(Schiff on Gould): “I was so impressed with his Bach because it was so different from anyone else’s. The clarity is remarkable, so are the rhythmic liveliness and the fantastic command of counterpoint”

“Kvapil has an exemplary approach to Dvořák: his imagination always alert, his gestures always spontaneous, he thus establishes a benchmark with this new collection, finding as before the most eloquent phrases, the most sparkling (oh the liveliness of the Valse op.54/8 !), and the most expressive that he can…..Squaring the circle is here resolved by a perfect stylist who has the emotional language for this music. The interpretations demonstrate similar qualities, whilst nourishing a sustained interest in the piano output of Dvořák (Repertoire magazine, Paris)
