"Mr. Peres has approached three masters with a refreshing and revealing perspective on his new CD. To start with Brahms and move back towards Bach via Beethoven is brilliant. The liner notes do a fabulous job in explaining this new perspective and the effect one gets by the end of the CD is very special. In addition to the innovative presentation of the Three B's, Mr. Peres' playing on the CD is incredibly personal, sincere, and very compelling. His opening Brahms to his arrangement of Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring and all the other titles on the CD leave the listener with the desire to immediately put the CD on again from the beginning. Bravo to Ricardo Peres and the producers of this outstanding CD!"
