>Mr. Lewis, the superb English pianist who has spent much of the last decade performing and recording Beethoven, is now focusing on Schubert. In this set he offers richly nuanced, soulful renditions of the Sonatas in C (D. 840), D (D. 850) and G (D. 894), the Impromptus (D. 899) and the Klavierstücke (D. 946), all fine examples of his compelling artistry. --The New York Times

>Every now and again a recording comes along that makes you want to dance in the street, handing out copies to complete strangers. This is one of those instance... Time and again, you marvel at the confidence and sureness of Lewis's playing, combined with the finesse and musicality that he has always displayed. It's the kind of playing, in fact, where comparisons cease to matter. --Gramophone, Recording of the Month

>Firmly in the company of great contemporary pianists... His magisterial account of the C major Sonata (D840) challenges all other recorded interpretations... --The Sunday Telegraph

Love that Gramophone excerpt. And Paul Lewis' piano playing, of course. Check it out!
