“The performances are uniformly of the highest quality…all the musicians consistently sound as though they relished Hartmann’s idiomatically conceived, sometimes sinuous melodies. If I had to recommend just one performance, it would be Janssen and Sicroff’s of the magnificent Cello Sonata, one of the finest for the instrument penned in the 20th century…an unalloyed masterpiece with a wonderful variation set at its centre. A revelation.”     Guy Rickards, Gramophone, July 2021

“Sicroff is a fine pianist who brings out the best in each work on this set. This is a fine introduction to de Hartmann’s music and a valuable contribution to the history of 20th-century music.”   Lynn René Bayley, Art Music Lounge, March 25, 2021

“Elan Sicroff proves an exceptional exponent of a sometimes bewilderingly diverse range of musical influences – from the nineteenth century via the salon and thence to Scriabin, Stravinsky, and perhaps a little Bartók. These represent, at least, some of the staging posts of de Hartmann’s musical journey…”       Jonathan Woolf, Music Web International, May 2021

“…the de Hartmann Project has done the world an immense service in finally presenting a somewhat orderly and in-depth look at this talented composer whose work has been not only vastly underrated but almost wholly ignored by the rest of the classical music world.”     Lynn René Bayley, Art Music Lounge, March 28, 2021

“I came to this collection with no expectations, not until now having been particularly aware of Thomas de Hartmann’s piano music. This is a brilliant survey, superbly played and recorded, of some tremendously worthwhile music.”   Dominy Clements, Music Web International, March 2021

“I must give producer Gert-Jan Blom a pat on the back for using singers who can actually sing, who have good, firm voices, good musical style and, best of all, clear diction.”      Lynn René Bayley, Art Music Lounge, March 25, 2021

“…superbly performed and full of strikingly well composed songs, this is a collection that deserves its place on every collector’s shelf, of this or any genre.”     Dominy Clements, Music Web International, March 2021

“The Trio for Flute Violin and Piano Op. 75 is a stunning work with which to end this Nimbus introduction to the music of Thomas de Hartmann, and I would urge everyone to find out just how good it all is for themselves.”     Dominy Clements, Music Web International, March 2021

“Pianist Elan Sicroff plays all the piano parts. He has a subtle touch which makes the music sound graceful and smooth..certainly the combination with singer Nina Lejderman is stunning and very beautiful.”     Mattie Poels, Music Frames, December 13th 2016

“A Jewel…after listening to all seven cd’s one can’t help but wonder: how could such gorgeous music have been forgotten?”   Oswin Schneeweisz, Klassieke Zaken, 25 November 2016
