"A rather spectacular piano recital...[his performance
of Petrouchka is] a formidable pyrotechnic display every bit as
virtuosic as it ought to be...Hodgkinson's Beethoven is a treat...Chopin's
Fourth Scherzo shows Hodgkinson master of another mood...and finally
a warm-toned account of Schumann's Waldscenen, ripe with charm
and simplicity, rounds off a very impressive debut solo disc."
