...fine performances of often elusive music... Callaghan and Takenouchi really do give an utterly convincing account... a magnificent recital

Nick Barnard, MusicWeb International

fascinating takes on the orchestral works, and the range of colours and textures achieved by the two pianists here in these delightful performances is highly impressive.

Classical Notes

Dec 2013

Callaghan and Takenouchi are a very well-marshalled duo, coupling dexterity and enthusiasm with a natural sense of ease and a perceptive response to the music... another highly successful and rewarding endeavour for Callaghan and Takenouchi.

International Record Review

...Simon Callaghan and Hiroaki Takenouchi, so sensitive to the colours of harmony in the chords...evoke[s] the cosmos of the orchestra.

Even without Delius's orchestral colours these versions are intriguing listening

BBC Music Magazine

Following SOMM’s successful release in 2012 of Volume I of arrangements for two pianos of Delius’s orchestral music (SOMMCD 0112) SOMM has now released Volume II transcribed by largely the same composers and friends of Delius in the same enjoyable, interesting mix as before.
