Pizzicato „This is territory in which Frank Dupree feels at home, and his lively, energetic playing is captivating. (…) Frank Dupree handles the complex rhythms wonderfully and makes the piece very entertaining.“
Rondo Magazin „Die Einspielung mit dem Solisten Frank Dupree und dem Komponisten am Pult des ORF Radio-Symphonieorchester Wien dürfte den Nerv dieses einsätzigen, noch nicht einmal halbstündigen Werks aber besonders präzise treffen. Denn Dupree ist, was die radikale musikalische Offenheit angeht, quasi ein Enkel im Geiste des mittlerweile 83-jährigen Wieners.“

BBC Music Magazine: „And in the talented hands of pianist Frank Dupree and the assembled SWR forces, it’s unadulterated for from the very first flourish.“
Pizzicato „Dupree and the SWR orchestra play with uninhibited joy, and an irresistible rhythmic drive. (…) And so Frank Dupree has succeeded in creating another Kapustin album that effortlessly takes its place at the top of the discography and cannot be praised highly enough for its skillful advocacy of music that is still too little known.“

In spielerisch virtuoser Selbstverständlichkeit kreieren sie einen Kosmos an gegensätzlichen Stimmungen. Lassen Sie sich von ihren Tonpfaderkundungen ins Ungewisse entführen. Der Ausflug lohnt sich!“
