Clarke leaves no doubt that he possesses the dual requirements of a formidable technique and an attendant stamina Clarkes interpretation is completely successful. Tempo and its modifications are well-chosen throughout. Some of the accelerando passages are quite hair-raising in their intensity Clarke himself has a profound interest in Shostakovich and a highly developed understanding of his music. This CD is a worthy item for Shostakovich collectors and piano enthusiasts alike. - Rosemary Cordy (DSCH Journal)
