grace is considerable."

" ... (Simone) Dinnerstein gives the world premiere recording of
Philip Lasser’s (12) Variations on a Bach Chorale (Nimm von uns,
Herr, du treuer Gott – ‘Take from us, Lord, Thou faithful God’), a
bracingly inventive work in the tonal tradition upon which
Dinnerstein lavishes the same devoted care and insights as in the
Bach and Beethoven. A stunning recital, engineered with tactile
precision. "
Julian Haylock; International Piano Magazine

 

" (Chaconne Variations for Violin and Piano) This was restrained
Bach, in repose – with muted but sensitive and intelligent further
commentary from Lasser."
