"I found myself listening spellbound to Curzon's playing. This is the Curzon who, at the age of 39, was only now emerging into the full light of an international career after a long and inspiring apprenticeship with such teachers as Arthur Schnabel and Nadia Boulanger. Indeed, it is that very emergent quality which gives his performance a freshness and shy-voiced eloquence which has the effect of setting the young Brahms vividly and appealingly before us." Gramophone
"Listening to the rapt interchange in the Mozart Adagio was one of the supreme moments of pianistic bliss that I have ever experienced. But that it came more often! Alas such genius as Clifford Curzon is now gone but a renaissance of his finer recordings is more than welcome. He recorded this particular work three times and I would say that this earlier effort is the finest." ClassicalNet
