"Crow's playing is exquisite in its silken tranquility...[he plays with] utter grace...Crow's delicate touch, his great sensitivity to the terracing of dynamics, make the reading pellucid, even visionary...utterly delightful to the ear...dynamics are beautifully nuanced but never precious. Sound quality [is] excellent...highly recommendable" - Fanfare - November/December 2000
