Press quote
“"Team of Pianists" provides a deep insight into Sculthorpe's work. All of the compositions give stimulus to the imagination, and the last three give incentive for compositional experiment. The performance by Max and Darryl Cooke highlights the melodious and rhythmic charm of these pieces...The excellent standard of performance penetrates varied facets of contemporary piano music.”
— Dulcie Robertson, Australian Music Teacher
