"Previn was the soloist…conducting from the keyboard with agile and economic gestures. He is a virtuoso pianist and played the C minor with sublime simplicity and profound poignancy." -- The Guardian on Previn's Mozart interpretation

"Kocsis is widely regarded as one of the finest pianists of his 1950s generation" -- The Guardian

"This was an unforgettable Mozart experience, as Heidrun Holtmann performed the Piano Concerto in the most moving and cultivated manner." -- Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on Holtmann's Mozart interpretation
