  "To jest cholernie fajne! Muzyka Alexandre'a Tansmana wprowadza nas w świetny nastrój i pozwala oderwać się od rzeczywistości. Ta sonatina ma w sobie wszystko - od energetycznego foxtrotu po mistyczną i wzruszającą część spiritual and blues. Nie mogę też zapomnieć o dynamice i radosnym rytmie charlestonu. Daniel Blumenthal na fortepianie doskonale oddaje wszystkie emocje tego utworu. To prawdziwa uczta dla uszu i doskonała podróż w czasie. Polecam wszystkim, nie tylko fanom muzyki klasycznej!"
