“If you listened blind you'd say this was a souped-up Erard, but it's actually a Steinway from 1882. Braley's musicianship is superb, and he extracts unexpected revelations from these well-known works.” --BBC Music Magazine, November 2013 ****
''Since his victory in the Reine Elisabeth Competition in Belgium in 1992, at the age of 22, Braley has allowed himself plenty of time for reflection, and his career... has been, in his own image, refined and demanding." (Michel Le Naour, Le Monde de la Musique). - ''This young French pianist, who made his recording debut with a Schubert disc for harmonia mundi, is an exquisitely polished player.'' Performance ***** (BBC Music Magazine). - ''Schubertian elegance, a playful fluency, the desire to bring colour and timbre to his sound'' are not the least qualities of this stylish pianist who offers us here, on a rare instrument, a personal and poetic reading of the most famous Beethoven sonatas.
