slaap klein beminde is a highpoint of the afrikaans song repertoire.  The
CD would be worth buying even if only for the premier recording of this
gripping composition.”

Lot’s Wife is ... a highly original work that has universality, featuring the
power of divine omnipotence versus human vulnerability.”

Schulamith’s Tanz by the young composer Jamie Wilding is a magical
pianistic firework of extasy and brilliance.”

The Tempted Mermaid is ... one if the more successful programmatic
pieces one might hope to hear.”

Homage to Mendelssohn comes across craftily as a refined paraphrase of
the Lutheran chorale that Mendelssohn quoted extensively in his fifth
symphony.  With echoes of minimalism and harmonies of romanticism,
Wilding interlocked the different styles in a conclusive musical web.”

“The composition [Tchaikovsky's Seasons] was brought across in a
sensitive and engaging manner by the superior playing of the pianist-
composer James Wilding.”
-        Gudrun Szczepanek, Landsberger Tagblatt, June 2008

“Wilding’s piano playing in this performance [of Grieg’s Piano Concerto]
was excellent.  He seemd to know where it was all leading and moved
towards this end with a tone that was by turns crisp and robust, and gentle
and soothing.”
-        David Kruger, Argus, April 1995
