	“The Four Parables were breathtaking in their long sustained virtuosity… the 120 Sinfoniker musicians had as soloist the magnificent pianist Andreas Boyde who did not just give an account of his immensely difficult part but knew how to bring it to life” - Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten
	“he… uses his pianistic potential … to discover what Dvorak wanted to tell us with his music - Westfälisches Volksblatt
	“I played it three times in a week… Boyde’s performance is breathtaking” - HiFI News and Record Review
	“Andreas Boyde's performance is both very exciting and gloriously effective. So good is [the Schoenfield] that it makes George Gershwin sound like an amateur. What joyful, witty and totally absorbing music this is. As for the piano playing, one can only exclaim astonishment and admiration. It is a sensational success.The recording is exemplary.” – David Wright (MusicWeb)
