REVIEWS:
“Peter Seivewright plays with style” – Northern Echo
“This is a fascinating disc... [Galuppi’s] music is very tuneful, unpretentious and untrammelled by 'early music fussiness.' They are far more appealing than Scarlatti sonatas. I have to commend the recording engineer who produces a close, intimate and crisp sound. Peter Seivewright gives us a splendid example as to how to play cantabile which all students and fellow pianists would do well to emulate. The sleeve booklet gives an excellent introduction to the life and times of this gifted composer and whets our appetite for further helpings. Highly recommended." – David Wright (Classical Music on the Web)
“A revelatory disc... Galuppi’s invention is rich and fresh, and Seivewright plays these wonderful pieces with a sense of delight in discovery. Highly recommended.” – Robert Cockroft, Yorkshire Post
“Movements are built often quite imaginatively and always resourcefully... [Seivewright] is a sensitive artist and obviously enjoys this repertoire, and he communicates this enjoyment to us." – Penguin Guide to CDs (2005)
