'Graffin's refined tone cuts through ... aided in Monti's "Csardas", Hubay's "Hejre Kati" and Ioan Scarlatescu's "Bagatelle" by the sound of Désert's piano luthéal. Bartok's "Romanian Folk Dances" and "Duos" add grit, while Debussy's "La plus lente" and Hartmann's wistful "L'amour, valse bluette" beguile. - The Independent
"Nothing fictional about this thrillingly evocative, novel-inspired collection ... an enthralling, exceptional recital, to be thoroughly recommended." - Gramophone
