Both musicians are at the top of their game; Michel, the romantic that he was, playing with an undeniable sense of joie de vivreand NHOP typically unhindered by the non-agile nature of the bass, playing as if it were a lead instrument. […]

The Guardian
Technical wizardry is taken for granted, but it’s the prodigious speed of reaction and fertility of invention that knocks you back. […]

The Independent
The curse of both players was that they were such virtuosi that it could be hard for them to play with anyone else. Here, each finds his ultimate match. […]
