"[Kirsten Johnson] seems to have entered entirely into Beach's world, which is one of quiet individuality and intimate expressiveness....The pianist's annotations are lovingly detailed, just like her playing."
International Record Review, June 2011
"One of the very best piano recordings I've heard."
RECORDING OF THE MONTH July 2011, MusicWeb International
Amy Beach - Piano Music Volume II -
The Turn of the Century (Guild 7329)
Amy Beach - Piano Music Volume II - The Early Years (Guild 7329)
Chosen by Dan Morgan for MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings Of The Year 2009
"It's always rewarding to discover little-known music of real quality, even more so when it's as beautifully played as this. There are two sharp intellects at work here, that of the composer and the pianist Kirsten Johnson, and together they produce music of astonishing range and subtlety. Guild's recording is warm, detailed and entirely natural, which makes this a must for all pianophiles."
"...superbly executed by Johnson, the pianist controlling the climactic flourishes so as to retain a focus on the all-important melodic thread. This is sensitive playing..." International Record Review, April 2009
