“Superb resolution combines with a warm ambience to make the most of the piano duo on this Signum Classics release.” – Gramophone
“Pianists will be fascinated by the variety of their glissandos. Heartily recommended.” – International Piano
“Debussy’s work is beautifully played by this duo. A disk of uniformly fine performances from a couple who work both musically and domestically hand in hand.” – Gramophone
★★★★ “Bax and Chung capture a relaxed sensuality which is the natural property of these impressionist and pointillist pieces. The album invites listening straight through, like a first-class recital.” – Pianist
