It's as deft and funny in its way as Albert Herring and touched by a Brittenesque instinct for dramatic economy but stylistically bang up to date
Peter Quantrill, Gramophone
Johannes Søe Hansen is right inside the idiom, very nicely accompanied by Bjørkøe. Each disc is a joy
Guy Rickards, Gramophone
Two of Henriques’s finest collections
Guy Rickards, Gramophone

Peter Dürrfeld, Kristeligt Dagblad
The playing of the Suoni Ensemble is expert and committed throughout, though Gerard Presencer’s fluent and natural trumpet playing is the highlight for me

Un disc pletòric de musicalitat i bon gust
Carme Miró, Sonograma Magazine
The texture here is stunning - the strings sound like many small voices trying to break free from a single entity, before snapping back into line. Simply put, this quartet is a psychological masterpiece.
Nathan Faro, American Record Guide
Riisager knows his orchestration and has a wry sense of humor
Allen Gimbel, American Record Guide
The superb playing from the Copenhagen Piano Quartet has all the youthful freshness and spontaneity,
yet real maturity and empathy that both works need for a successful performance
