"The wonderful thing about all of Liebermann's music is that he writes beautifully yet unpredictably. The nocturne lulled us with quiet musical darkness while wandering into a wistful dissonance, and did not avoid the fitful storms that sometimes come after nightfall. His technical challanges were subtle, and required Ohlsson's deft skills..."

John Sutherland, The Seattle Times

"dreamy and sumptuous, yet vaguely disturbing..."

Michael Huebner, The Birmingham News
