(Dvořák): ‘Kvapil plays with great understanding ..deft and sensitive’ (Fibich): ‘An erotic diary for piano (Abraham)…played with great sensitivity and subtlety … haunting music, fine pianism’ (Penguin Guide)

(Martinů) ‘there is scarcely a piece here without charm. Kvapil does not play them as a mere bag of sweets…..whenever Martinů gestures ..Kvapil knows exactly what the reference is and where it would lead eventually… Illuminating as well as entertaining’ (Smetana): anyone can take pleasure in Kvapil’s expert, sensitive performances, which touch delicately on the emotions beneath the surface’ (Voříšek): Kvapil’s enthusiastic performances stress the classical background …. much to enjoy’.
