'Easily the most sophisticated Villa-Lobos piano disc currently in the catalogue' (International Record Review) 

  • BBC Music Magazine: the Prole do Bebe suites are "...dense-textured, hugely complicated scores, vast cascades of notes negotiated with vigour and style by Marc-André Hamelin."  (Christopher Wood)
