"Stunning performances... Simon Callaghan takes it all in his stride, encouraging us to enjoy the sheer luxuriance of the piano writing"
Robert Hugill
"He throws himself into the concerto's physically taxing, Scriabinesque sound world with passion, total commitment and, it seems, heartfelt affection."
Jeremy Nicholas (Gramophone)
"Simon Callaghan is clearly in his element, enjoying the abundance of double octaves whilst never losing melodic elegance nor beauty of tone."
Alexander Thompson (EPTA Journal)
"Callaghan once again shows himself to be one of the leading young British pianists with a wonderfully wide range of tone colours and a sure understanding of the structure and passion of the scores."
Paul Jackson (British Music Society Journal)
"The recording does the work full justice... A commendable revival of works dug out of the archives by the pianist himself."
James Manheim (allmusic.com)
"Callaghan's achievement of myriad tonal hues adds greatly to the allure."
Stephen Greenbank (MusicWeb International)
