“A highly desirable library acquisition for all Tchaikovskians and serious lovers of the piano repertoire,' was Gramophone’s verdict on this collection. “In every cycle of shorter pieces there are items to be treasured.” Viktoria Postnikova, a distinguished laureate of the International Tchaikovsky Competition, “brings to every single piece a virtually ideal blend of affection, respect and intelligence, not to speak of virtuoso command. Not only does this give the textures the best possible chance to 'come off the page', she also has the instinct for inflexions which get us to the heart of Tchaikovsky's individual moods.”
