Vincenzo Maltempo:
Paul Dukas’s talent suffered throughout his career at the hands of his perfectionism: His rigorous self-criticism allowed only 13 compositions to be published in his lifetime, and many of his scores ended up in the fire. His complete output for the piano includes just five works, dominated by the Sonata and the Variations, each of them a homage to a past master, to Beethoven and to Rameau.

Tamara Stefanovich:
Tamara Stefanovich first met Vassos Nicolaou when they were both students. Years later, when she was invited to commission a new work from any composer, Vassos was first on her list. "Today his 15 Etudes has become a testament to an immeasurably innovative freedom…even while playing them, I am struck by the quality of illusions, which gives me the feeling of owning not just countless pairs of hands, but several pairs of ears as well."
