Press reviews

‘Extraordinary value for money ... Davitt Moroney’s excellent playing’ Early Music News Aug/Sep 2002 ‘Outstanding’ Early Music Review Sept 02 ‘Erudite and absolutely beautiful score... Moroney is very fine’ Piano Sept/Oct 2002 ‘Well worth £17.95. Moroney’s performance is very fine indeed. An extremely fine product and it is difficult to imagine it being done better, especially at the price.’ Choir & Organ Sept/Oct 02 ‘A brilliant new edition’ EPTA Piano Journal Winter 2002 ‘Fine scholarship and a keen awareness of performance criteria. ... excellent two-CD set of Davitt Moroney’s performance. ... Given the breadth and detail of material included in this edition, I do think that if you are to buy one copy of this work, this should be it’ MMA Ensemble January 2003 ‘Clean text, historical background, CD-performance masterclass, and analysis lesson too. An unmissable bargain.’ Music Teacher April 2003 ‘Jones gives a wealth of information and insight into issues of performance practice. ... I find Moroney’s playing wonderfully imaginative and expressive... ’ ‘This edition is full of the most painstaking and thorough research and problematical isues are solved with clarity and transparency. Jones succeeds in educating but not patronising and his edition is ideal for anyone. At £17.95 it is also a seriously good bargain.’ Piano Professional April 2003 (EPTA UK) “Beautifully presented.” Stringendo, Australia April 2003
