"It's not just Ray Chen's superb technique, but his sense of pacing in the music that's so striking: there's always time for the music to unfold, even at speed" BBC Music Magazine, April 2011 *****
"It's not just Ray Chen's superb technique, but his sense of pacing in the music that's so striking: there's always time for the music to unfold, even at speed...Both he and Timothy Young are right inside the music...in [the Wieniawski pieces] his musical and technical assurance find full expression. These are hugely exciting debut albums." BBC Music Magazine, April 2011 *****
"Chen and Young are capable instrumentalists and, in parts of [the Duo concertante], each displays an astute feeling for the angularity and rhythmic disjunction of Stravinsky's thematic material; it would be heard to imagine the Gigue (track 15) sounding more fleet of foot than here." International Record Review, May 2011
"Throughout this highly stimulating programme, Ray Chen (with just the right characterful timbre) and Timothy Young, whose glittering pianistic upper range catches the ear again and again, make a superb partnership, suggesting to the listener what Stravinsky and Dushkin must have sounded like nearly seven decades ago...An excellent, truthful recording balance, good notes and handsome packaging make this disc irresistable." Gramophone Magazine, July 2011
