"The sonic restorations on these inexpensive Naxos discs, part of an ongoing set of the complete 32 sonatas, are very good, but it's still the performances that stand the test of time and emerge with distinction."
- William W. Starr, The State, April 6, 2003
"The rich mellowness of Schnabel¹s beloved Bechstein, amazing even back in the days of the scratchy 78s, is amazing once again thanks to the miraculous audio restoration of Mark Obert-Thorn.
I envy the generations of musicians and music-lovers discovering these treasures for the first time."
- Alan Rich, LA Weekly, December 20, 2002
