★★★★★ CLASSICAL MUSIC MAGAZINE Imaginatively conceived and beautifully performed, this disc is a winner
THE ARTS DESK All beautifully recorded and handsomely presented: an engaging guide to the cello’s musical and technical possibilities.
PLANET HUGILLÂ This is a charming and imaginative CD, beautifully performed by all concerned
GRAMOPHONEMark Simpson’s Un regalo is less tautly structured but its extreme juxtapositions of register and mood show off both Johnston’s virtuosity and the instrument’s character… this is an enjoyable excursion and documents Johnston’s versatility.
THE STRADÂ There’s playing of great nuance and polish in the Sonata for Two Cellos
ALL MUSIC REVIEW Above all, the sound of Johnston‘s Tecchler cello is indeed distinctively rich, and you get a glimpse in the booklet notes of how a musician gets to know an extraordinary new instrument. A unique release, and a recommended one.
