T. Urbach in FonoForum 9 / 02: "The accordion is booming, especially in New Music, no question about that, and Stefan Hussong is one of the best interpreters. Here he places pieces by compositional greats (Hölszky, Berio, Gubaidulina) next to those by relative nobodies (Harada, Nordheim, Lim). This pays off because an astonishing level prevails. Beautiful!"
