Press Reviews Music for Horn and Piano (RES-CD 004): "We are treated to a big, lively sound here as if sitting close to the two soloists. The recording quality is fearlessly vivid: 'reach-out-and-touch' realism. Throughout, the pianism is mercurially tempered, quick and full of life. The horn playing goes for the big effect (though Crome is not short of subtlety either) and is played with no shadow of caution (note the fluff in 0.50 on track 5 - the Schumann Allegro). This is flamboyant playing often of thrilling character and with fine attention to the shading and terracing of dynamics.... Nice to see classical music taking its place as a voice among the predominantly pop voices associated with MP3 and the MP3 players which are now such a characteristic of high street shops. © Rob Barnett (www.musicweb.uk.net) The full review can be found at Musicweb and at www.resonances.com/CDs/004/review.html.
