“Butcaru steps up with a stellar solo work-out…Her feel for Ravel and Schumann are right in the pocket… a first class impression. These are clearly ten new fingers to keep a close watch on.” – Chris Spector (Mid West Record)

“A richly comprehensive programme… all these readings are quite without the superficial gloss or “knowingness” of many alternative performances. Berg's Sonata… suits this pianist's serious and reflective style admirably.” – Bryce Morrison (Gramophone)
