Shelley's playing throughout is dazzling, clean and precise in all the cascades of virtuoso fingerwork, and with beautifully inflected decorative lines in the slower music, reminding us of Hummel's influence on Chopin. And Shelley somehow manages to combine this with purposeful direction of the orchestra - which responds with first-rate playing, notably from the woodwind. — BBC Music Magazine, September 2004
