"Korevaar's Ravel has a meticulous clarity. Not only is every note heard clearly, but Korevaar's liner notes are uncommonly illuminating... Miroirs glistens with idiomatic touches... This is splendid playing... Korevaar's reading is suitably understated, beautifully balanced... Korevaar's accounts here of Miroirs and Le tombeau de Couperin are quite outstanding. Recommended."
- Fanfare
"Tasteful Ravel interpretations... very effective... sensuous shades of pedal and nuance... Korevaar evokes a palpable stillness around his pearly, haunted arpeggios and runs... loving transitions and terraced dynamics. That Korevaar can effect a slick dimuendo while speeding up attests to a master's hand... Excellent, tender piano sound."

"Bright, alert playing... a quietly soaring musical epiphany" - Gramophone
"Korevaar, whose previous recordings include fine accounts of Bach, Beethoven, Brahms and Lowell Liebermann, is clearly up to the musical and considerable technical challenges here and he holds our attention throughout."
