EMPFEHLUNG, KLASSIK HEUTE
CLASSIC CD DISC OF THE MONTH

Engaging, often witty, jazz-inspired works that are highly recommended, especially to lovers of Gershwin or Billy Mayerl
— Gramophone

Kapustin's synthesis is well-crafted, has some exciting moments and generally exudes a breezy élan. It is also superbly performed by Osborne.
— BBC Music Magazine

Everything on this surprisingly sunny disc is full of ear-catching delights; and it’s hard to imagine a listener who won’t be captivated. The performances are every bit as attractive as the music. In sum, we have a major new pianist on our hands
— Fanfare, USA

It’s hard to imagine it better done. Recommended
— International Piano Quarterly

At last! A worthwhile jazz-classical fusion!
— Classic CD

Exudes great energy and dazzling brilliance. Outstanding performances by Steven Osborne. An invigorating disc by any standards
