Stefán Ragnar Höskuldsson and Michael McHale’s Solitude recording gets a confident recommendation from MusicWeb International critic Brian Reinhart:
“You can enter into this adventurous recital confident that you will enjoy it. … This CD is certainly adventurous, with four excellent pieces in diverse styles. … Sound quality is superb, and pianist Michael McHale uses a Steinway Model B (the slightly smaller size preferred in smaller chamber recital halls). The booklet essay includes the rather moving story of Magnús Jóhannsson’s career and rehabilitation. Given how skilfully these two players execute an interesting, varied program, it’s very easy to give this top recommendation. Just don’t be surprised if the title track is your favorite.” —Brian Reinhart, MusicWeb International
