International Record Review
Beethoven Opp.14 & 27

I welcomed Peter Hewitt’s earlier CD of Beethoven piano sonatas warmly, for it seemed as though he was a Beethoven player of much potential, and a similar reaction is conveyed by this new disc. The quality of this young man’s interpretations is apparent, and his account of the ‘Moonlight’ immediately struck me as being quite exceptional.

International Record Review

Beethoven Op.10

I have been so impressed with this disc that I urge you to seek it out and listen to it. This is immensely musical and convincing Beethoven playing from an artist who has already earned well merited praise from Vladimir Ashkenazy, John Lill and Andras Schiff.

"The wedding scene acquires a Rosenkavalier-like gleam. It's a treasure."
