Reviews
“The piano writing in both concertos is as idiomatic and demanding as you would expect from a pianist of Stevenson’s calibre, at once virtuoso and primus inter pares. And it could hardly have a more dazzling or eloquent champion than Murray McLachlan”
“an interpreter gifted with an instrumental technique that is as discreet as it is impressive, which also displays a maturity of playing that is quite uncommon”
“Murray McLachlan played the Tchaikovsky concerto with the sort of engaging freshness one so often misses in this work”
“Even before Murray McLachlan plays a note, you feel you’ve experienced a performance”
“McLachlan manages to pull a real musical experience out of that daunting half- hour of Bachian fugal summa, Busoni’s Fantasia Contrapountistica”
“Our Rosette is awarded not just for enterprise, but equally for admiration and pleasure”
