"The Watkins duo sound convincingly on Martinu's wavelength from the first bar of the First Sonata...The two sets of variations come off superbly too...An excellent disc and the best of the commerically available sets."
(Gramophone)

"There is a strong sense of ensemble at every stage, but beyond this, the performers have an instinctive grasp of the often mercurial dynamics of this music...Perhaps best of all is their reading of the Variations on a Slovak Theme which manages to capture both the music's pungency and expressive depth...Altogether an enormously impressive disc."
(BBC Music Five Stars Chamber Choice August 2010)

"In Paul and Huw Watkins's hands, these rarities are eminently worthy of discovery."
(The Sunday Times)
