Review:
"A moving account of an incredibly gifted pianist" (Mail on Sunday)
"Nobody can really "know'' Paravicini since he is locked in his own world ... What Ockelford demonstrates is that it is possible to make such an insular world fulfilling, and the contemplation of this can touch the rest of us. That, in itself, is a considerable achievement." (Daily Telegraph)
"Ockelford tells his story well. No one else ... could have explained Derek in quite the same way." (Daily Mail)
