| “Boyde trusted his instincts and painted a delicate watercolour full of light and shade with almost awesome perfection” - Nürnberger Zeitung | |||
| “An artist that can convey this level of communication coupled with such consummate skill and breathtaking ability is destined to become famous and rightly so” - MusicWeb | |||
| “a very satisfying reading indeed. An illuminating attempt to get beyond Mussorgsky's words, behind the notes. And it succeeds admirably. To couple Pictures with Miroirs is clever wordplay that also works on musical terms. Again Boyde's interpretation reaches beyond virtuosity to let the music speak through the contrasts realized in the clarity that his remarkable technique permits. Excellent piano tone – some wonderfully sonorous passages.” – Martin Anderson (Fanfare) | |||
