Sibelius: Piano Music

Description

3 Stars: “A sympathetic and sensitive guide to this repertoire. … well recorded. She produces a wide range of keyboard colour and a good dynamic range. On the whole the set makes a clear first choice in this repertoire”
– Penguin Guide
“[Annette Servedai] is not one of the bash and glitter school. Her approach reaches the heart of the music by stealth. … Soft playing which is yet deep in tone;”
– Musical Opinion
