Reviews
'Pleasure of another sort bubbles out of the latest release to advance the cause of the roving Bohemian Jan Ladislav Dussek ... Both artists obviously had tremendous fun making this recording.'
The Times
'Duo Pleyel use all the timbres, dynamics and attack of their period keyboard to tremendous effect. You’ll emerge wondering why this Bohemian composer isn’t more widely celebrated and much more frequently.'
BBC Radio 3 'Record Review'
'Winning performances of largely sunny but not always familiar Schubert.'
