Editor's Choice - Gramophone Magazine (February 2003)
"(Someone recently) was making an impassioned plea for recordings of music by Hans Gál (1890-1987). As if to answer his prayers here come a cleverly programmed couple of discs which derive from the Vienna-Berlin-London festival which celebrated music from between the wars. Gál was a friend of the subject of this month's 'Reputations', Adolf Busch, and his Sonata in D (actually his second) remained unpublished until rescued by these fine artists in 2001."
Editor's Choice - Gramophone Magazine (February 2003)
