“[Fleming’s] voice rolls through the surging chromaticism of Rachmaninoff’s songs, sustaining their rapturous lines with a combination of abandon and delicate poise.”
-The Guardian
“So compelling is Kissin’s pianism, so fresh his response to even the most familiar phrases, that one hangs on every note.”
–The Times (UK)
