"Hewitt's playing radiates joy, wit and profound understanding of the composer's keyboard style. This series is one of the record glories of our age." (Bach on Hyperion) - The Sunday Times
"It's something you see from the very beginning: a musician who is totally at one with his instrument, forming a unit with it. One moment he dances with it, the next he embraces it, almost tenderly. On other occasions he shows no mercy at all. But what you always sense is a deep, timeless, harmonious intimacy between Daniel Müller-Schott and his cello." - Bad Kissingen
