“… They are pianistically and musically interesting, yet not overwhelming compositions. With Busch, one often notes a soulful warmth and a dazzling variety of color as well as, especially in the Nicholas Variations, a concise rhythm. Clarke’s very artful, impressionistic compositions have a pleasing charm. Simon Callaghan moves stylistically confidently and very expressively through this program, from which he arguably draws maximum effect and never allows the musical discourse to flag.” ****
