‘Throughout this superb disc, Giltburg is a joy to hear, lightly pedalled, consistently on the qui vive, weaving and darting, with a delicious leggiero touch and crystal-clear articulation.’ – Gramophone
‘Giltburg lacks nothing in respect of the technical prowess demanded, and that includes the original, massive cadenza in the concerto. He produces a most beautiful sound and manages not to compromise that beauty in louder passages.’ – MusicWeb International
