"It's in the nature of Bryars's solo piano music that it flows along in gently timeless way...it also severally challenges a performer's ability to keep the listener's attention suitably gripped. In After Handel's Vesper's and Ramble on Cortona, Ralph van Raat manages this fairly well. But he's on stronger form in the Piano Concerto, with its much wider spectrum of moods and colours."
(Classic FM)
"These three works fascinate even if they do not involve. The Piano Concerto evokes something not far removed from Vaughan Williams's A Sea Symphony, only less storm-tossed. While delicate colouristic effects abound, it is a work of unhurried, dreaming whimsy. Van Raat is a passionate, skilled advocate."
