About his playing of Haydn The Gramophone says 'Brendel's continual illumination of the musical ideas through intense study pays off...the sonatas are magnificent creations, wonderfully well played.'

And about the Mozart Piano Concerto The Gramophone says 'Another Brendel hallmark is his variety of tone and articulation in rapid passagework...his sensibility, pianistic refinement and sheer questing intelligence remain as compelling as ever.'
