Dohnanyi's Variations on a Nursery Rhyme:
"It brings into the catalogues as good a performance of the Dohnanyi as we have had in more than two decades. (Anderson) gives a glittering performance of the Dohnanyi, and a spontaneous one.
Brahms First Concerto in D Minor:
It is the logic of Anderson's playing, his sweet reasonableness, that holds the attention. The eloquence of his playing helps explain why he topped the BBC TV viewers poll in the 1993 Leeds competition. This is a well made record that may be of historical interest in years to come."
Gramophone, March 1995
"A serious warm-hearted and searching artist to his fingertips. The long-spanned lyricism and textural richness he brings to his playing are so natural and convincing that within moments of his entry the focus is shifted from the soloist to the music itself - one of the first attributes of a truly musicianly performance."
"A finely paced and forthright Brahms D minor. (Anderson) gets fiery support from the orchestra, which shines in its joint advocacy of Dohnanyi's delightful variations, a coupling which makes this CD all the more desirable."
