>The music of Scriabin and Janacek, two contrasting and highly eccentric composers that are dear to Stephen Hough's heart, makes for a perfect recital. The sensual perfumes of the one intertwine with the disruptive obsessions of the other as Hough, ever the magician, casts his spell.

>The highlight...is Janáceks 'On an Overgrown Path' book one, played with such inward feeling that one hardly dares to breathe simple, tender, pure magic. --4 Stars, Financial Times

Stephen Hough is so good, and incredibly prolific. Surely one of the great performing pianists of our time.
