"Pianist
Greenfield's interpretations are crisp and glittering or subtle
and expressive as the mood warrant Greenfield neatly avoids
the usual pitfalls by presenting these works as individual pieces
within a unified set, connecting the elements that bind them
together while letting the differences speak for themselves
with clarity. The recording is a model of transparency and presence;
every note is like a highly polished jewel." Tom Furgas, Option
