As you would expect, in both works the pianist is kept pretty busy. Wojciech Waleczek gives every indication of enjoying the challenges. Here and in the paraphrase of Liszt` own settings of Lenau`s poem „Die drei Zigeuner” (The Three Gypsies), a kind of violinistic appendage to the Hungarian Rhapsodies for piano solo, the pinpoint ensemble and dynamic shading of this duo is exemplary. (Jeremy Nicholas, Gramophone, June 2015
Both players show their mettle in the Tarantella-like variation and its ensuing Animato marziale with playing of clarity and agility. The sound is well captured and the two players – crucially the pianist too ! are self-assured throughout. (Edward Bhesania, The Strad, June 2015)
