"Here we have a disc of encores to hit all moods and genres...far from being a pick’n’mix standing at the ready to be chopped up into a multitude of playlists (not that I don’t hope it doesn’t turn up everywhere), this is a genuine, single, sublime work of art, and to achieve this from such a multi-angled selection takes unusual artistry." - Gramophone Magazine, April 2020.
