MusicWeb International‘s Jonathan Woolf reviews Piano Music of John Knowles Paine by pianist Christopher Atzinger:
“Paine’s piano music hasn’t really been explored in much depth.… So all thanks are due to Christopher Atzinger for getting to grips with a body of Paine’s piano repertoire. It shows Paine’s rootedness in the German romantic literature of his time… one of Paine’s most appealing qualities in his solo piano music… is a strong quotient of untroubled lyricism. … Atzinger locates the essentially relaxed and good humoured element in Paine’s writing and he has been attractively recorded. Lindsay Koob wrote the thoughtful and engaging booklet essay.”
