Awards and reviews

January 2006

Some extremely beautiful playing here, not only in the Berg Sonata (very Romantic in effect) but more strikingly throughout the Schoenberg works - atmospheric, of course, but also stylish and subtly coloured.

March 2006

…it's in the richly expressive Berg Sonata that Pöntinen excels… although many other fine versions of this work can be found, including those by Murray Perahia and (more recently) Pierre-Laurent Aimard, this performance - expansive and impassioned without self-indulgence, the recording admirably uncluttered - deserves a high place among current recommendations.
