Christmas 2020

Dyson usually packs in plenty of substance, with tricky rhythms, surprising harmonies that belie his conservative image and considerable authentic charm...Callaghan, a devoted specialist in forgotten British repertoire, tackles this varied fare with aplomb.
4 out of 5 stars (Performance) / 3 out of 5 stars (Recording)

December 2020

Callaghan renders [the Four Twlilight Preludes] and other solo pieces with a conviction not merely in their technical mastery but their musical worth...Sound and annotations (by Callaghan) leave nothing to be desired, so making this a desirable purchase for Dyson devotees or those wishing to try out some unfamiliar yet rewarding music.

January/February 2021

“this first complete survey of the piano music offers a sequence of revelations ... the slow movement is positively dreamy, the finale deliciously playful... Callaghan relishes them....Unmissable.”
