"Fray’s lyrical performance, if this doesn't sound too contradictory, is full of youthful maturity; his intelligent phrasing and emotional language are what one would expect of a much older pianist, but they are presented with a healthy dose of Young Man vigour and fun... He couldn't have made a better beginning..." -BBC
