"Editor's choice: Bezuidenhout's instrument is an echt Érard ... It's capable of a wide range of colours and dynamics, holding its own against the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra ... Bezuidenhout is ... as happy to allow his passagework to rumble away within the body of the orchestra as he is to muse on more lyrical sections ... The Freiburgers are on fine form, too, under Pablo Heras-Casado ... The string sound, bleached of vibrato, contrasts vibrantly with the warmth of the winds"

"Vurdering: Diapason d'or"

"One can't fault the actual playing of the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, which is all virtuoso clarity ... The Symphony, though, is problematic ... Perhaps Heras-Casado and the orchestra are trying too hard to 'project', but the result mostly feels driven, aggressive, even angry ... Kristian Bezuidenhout's playing in the concerto, however, is a total joy, with ample nuance, expressivity and airiness, besides that delicate and even touch ... The elegance and charm of a pianist and instrument rather show up the orchestral approach"
