„My sincere gratitude to the ECHO Klassik Awards jury for honoring French Impressions with the ECHO Klassik Award. This is the first sonata recording Jeremy Denk and I have done together and we couldn't be more pleased to see our interpretations of Ravel, Franck and Saint-Saëns be acknowledged in this way."
Joshua Bell
