Schaghajegh Nosrati:
András Schiff has praised the “astonishing clarity, purity, and maturity” of Schaghajegh Nosrati's musical approach, particularly reflected in her renditions of Bach. This is her fifth album, and the fourth devoted to the German Master of Preludes and Fugues. As chance would have it, this CD’s release coincides with the 300th anniversary of the first volume of the Well-Tempered Clavier.

Patricia Pagny:
Tender or troubled, dark or starlit, the night has long been a source of artistic creativity. Twentieth-century France was certainly one of the countries that developed this theme most, which is shown on this CD with night pieces by famous composers like Debussy and Fauré, but also with lesser known works by Georges Migot, Jean-Jacques Werner and Georges Auric.

Julia Kociuban:
On this album, Julia Kociuban goes beyond Chopin and explores the musical genre that totally took over Polish salon life at the beginning of the 19th century. At the threshold of Romanticism, this musical showcase of Polishness coincided with the rapidly growing dominance of the piano, as a result of which, until 1815, Polonaises constituted as much as 96 percent of dance pieces for piano published in Warsaw!
