Beautifully phrased, Frith and Hill’s playing is magnetic in its concentration and sensitivity. Daily Telegraph
… sensitive aristocratic playing, the textures never cluttered, the chording beautifully weighted … There are fireworks aplenty where required, but Hill and Frith bring elegance, warmth and fantasy to both the neoclassical pieces. But it’s the Rite that is the triumph. Ever lucid, marvellously poetic in its evocative moments, the fast movements dynamically alive, Hill and Frith present this version, entirely convincingly, as nothing less than great piano music. Hi Fi News
The tonal quality of Frith’s and Hill’s pianism is more alluring than that of Ashkenazy and Gavrilov, the combination of zest and seriousness more apt than the Labèques’ rather extrovert manner, and the Naxos recording decisively preferable to the Kontarsky disc … Fanfare
