Mustonen works wonders with the Shostakovich pieces, bringing plenty of colour, textural variety and expressive power to the plain-spoken keyboard writing.
Jed Distler, BBC Music Magazine, April 2004
Brilliant playing in a creative juxtaposition of Bach's sublime mastery and Shostakovich's painterly boldness.
Rob Cowan, Gramophone, February 2004
