Protected: Sparklingly fresh playing … Takenouchi knows how to convince
Pizzicato, Pál Körtefa
I’ll retrospectively add it to my ‘best of year’ list, as it’s that good
The Arts Desk, Graham Rickson
A sonically- and dramaturgically-convincing, deeply-internalised interpretation
VAN Magazin, Wendelin Bitzan
Takenouchi handles this with bravura ease and a warm, refined sound
Crossed Eyed Pianist, Fran Wilson
Romantically affluent, poundingly sonorous and rich in pathos
MusicWeb International, Rob Barnett
Rich in tone and possessing an enviably secure technique – 5 Stars
Classical Ear, Andrew Achenbach
He is unfailingly convincing, his playing thoughtful, lyrical and spontaneous
The Sunday Times, Stephen Pettitt
