Performances with technical agility and remarkable interpretative skills [JF]
Poulenc, Milhaud, Debussy: Music for two pianos (Orchid Classics)

Déjà-rêvé – Dialogues across time (Audite)
Klavierduo Neeb debuts in attractive disc of two-piano works, with an assist from percussion friends [JH]
Debussy: C’est l’extase, La mer (Alpha Classics)
The orchestrated Verlaine songs are delightful, La mer merely decent [SB]

The album works equally well for close listening and as agreeable background music late at night [GF]
Debussy: Night in Granada (Cala)
(Déjà Review) An important addition to the Debussy discography [IL]
Works for Cello & Piano (LAWO Classics)
An attractive programme, expertly performed [RWe]

A patchy Zarathustra and a good Jeux, but you’ll find better performances of both elsewhere [ST]

Insightful, stylish Kathleen Long – a pianist too often taken for granted [JW]
