William Zagorski, one of the regular critics of American magazine The Fanfare, has placed this CD in his “Top 5” list of all the CDs published worldwide in 2009.

“The cellist, Evva Mizerska, seems to me, in my dotage, a mere child. She is, however, in possession of a fine, large-scaled, and infinitely plastic sound, able to encompass the challenging demands of Krzysztof Meyer’s thoughts with ease. Her two accompanists, Emma Abbate and Katarzyna Glensk, also quite young, navigate this difficult music with both utter commitment and facility. The sound is spotlessly clean in all registers, dynamically vast, and satisfying.”

- The Fanfare

“These three young performers play these works as if they owned them, with complete assurance and clear dedication. Evva Mizerska produces a beautiful sound, no matter what Meyer asks of her, and Emma Abbate and Katarzyna Glensk leave a similarly attractive impression never mind that the piano parts are very challenging! …This warmly yet transparently engineered CD whets one’s appetite for more.” 

- International Record Review

“The performances are excellent, and all the performers go all out to make this music really speak to us. The notes in the booklet are excellent and the recording is superb. I’ve said it before, but I shall repeat myself: Meyer is a major composer and he cannot be ignored. There are now sufficient CDs of his music available for us to be able to really discover him and his work. For me this is essential listening, and I would urge everyone who is interested in contemporary music to join me in discovering one of the most elemental and exciting composers currently at work today.”
