”The music of Thomas de Hartmann shows him to be a most capable composer, certainly not deserving of the obscurity into which he has fallen…”   David DeBoor, Fanfare Magazine, Aug 2022  

“…This concerto is no mean feat, but Sicroff seems to succeed in making even the most difficult passages sound effortless,…”   “…De Hartmann is, I suspect, a very major composer whose time for rediscovery has finally come.”       DA, The Light Music Society, July 2022

“Well recorded with plenty of vivid wind, brass and percussion action and performed by all with palpable gusto, this is an excellent disc in its own right, but also a complementary recording for anyone who has already acquired and admired the selection of orchestral works on the Toccata Classics label”   Dominy Clements, Music Web International, July 2022

“The recording is a revelation about a composer who has the techniques and skills to write some of the finest 20th century music, but who has inexplicably fallen off most people’s listening lists…   Maureen Buja, Interlude, June 2022  

“…Because de Hartmann’s Cello Concerto, composed in 1935 and premiered in Boston in 1938 under the direction of Sergei Koussevitzky with Paul Tortelier as soloist and framed by Tchaikovsky and Schmitt, is a masterpiece….”   Peter Korfmacher, Leipzier Volkszertung, May 2022

“On this CD, we first hear a very virtuosic piano concerto composed by De Hartmann in 1939, which reminds one of the genre of film music, with touches of Russian romanticism, but also of jazz and blues.”     Remy Franck, Pizzicato Magazine, June 2022

“All in all, this most welcome disk will be of considerable interest to those of us who love to investigate the byways of the music of the late 19th and early 20th Century…”   Jim Westhead,  MusicWeb International, May 2022

“.. as all the music on this disc is highly distinctive and hugely enjoyable. Meantime, the present release is recommended with much enthusiasm as is, at long last, the music of Thomas de Hartmann in general.”   Lee Denham, MusicWeb International, April 2022

“I have no hesitation in regarding this release as one of the great discoveries of recent years. Thomas de Hartmann was the real deal.”   David Hurwitz, Classics Today, March 2022

“Together, these discs provide an unmissable survey of a composer whose music calls out for much wider exposure. Sicroff’s expertise is invaluable and his pianistic prowess second to none. ”   Colin Clarke, International Piano, July 2021
