"Schnittke's uniquely drawn visions of despair, irony violence and nostalgia cannot help but exert a powerful spell over even the most sceptical of listeners. The uncompromising directness of expression often reminds one of his great predecessor Shosakovich whose influence is particularly tangible here in the shadowy waltz of the Piano Quintet and in the eerie trills that haunt sections of the String Trio....It would be unduly churlish not to applaud Naxo's enterprise for including a number of rarely heard miniatures and undoubtedly helping to bring Schnittke's music to a much wider public." • Erik Levi, BBC Music Magazine, March 2001
