Reviews
Gramophone
“A splendid release. Make no mistake: Honma is a superb player. The composer provides his imprimatur of her in the booklet, but hearing her one appreciates immediately how technically able and interpretatively alert she is. Very strongly recommended.
” —Guy Rickards
Shropshire Star
