Notes & Reviews:

"In the September 2004 issue, Bryce Morrison gave an enthusiastic welcome to Martin Jones's complete Mompou cycle. It is a pleasure to give an equally hearty three cheers to another complete cycle from the same pianist. When so few 'completes' are ever wholly satisfying in the hands of a single artist, the indefatigable Jones proves an exception. Why his 'scrupulously sensitive but self-effacing artistry' (BM) is not more widely acclaimed is baffling... These four well-filled discs are completed by Rebay's substantial (18'31") Grand Fantasy on themes from 'Die tote Stadt', and Korngold's fantasy on Johann Strauss themes - collectors of 'Blue Danube' variations need not hesitate! Stylish, lovingly prepared, classily played and with an excellent 10-page booklet from Korngold's biographer Brendan G Carroll, I cannot praise too highly this valuable addition to the catalogue." -Gramophone
