"The whirlwind portions of Francesca generate tremendous power in Ancelle's transcription. The Nutcracker character pieces are crisply etched"

"Without any abusive exaggeration, Ancelle and Berlinskaya, brilliant, playful, hurtle those heroic scales with a contagious cheerfulness!"

“Arthur Ancelle delivers a truly exciting adaptation of Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece. In osmosis, the duo plunges with beating heart into to the rhythm of a diabolical chromaticism, at the verge of suffocation or dizziness, alternating dramas and passions without downtime. We quickly forget the original orchestration of the score - is not it the best compliment we can offer a transcriptionist? - to recapture the spirit of Dante throughout the 22 minutes of grand piano playing.”
