"Booth and Glynn are certainly on fire here. The solo piano items tell a real story – Grieg’s very own ‘Lieder ohne Worte’...This new recital, strongly recommended, contributes greatly to the catalogues as a kind of heightened guide both to Grieg’s song-writing and the still unsuspected range of his Lyric Pieces." - Gramophone Magazine, November 2019.
