The Liszt Album. ABC Classics 472 673-2 "It's only March but I'm ready to take a punt on The Liszt Album as recording of the year...The tremendous B minor sonata grips from the first. McCallum
gives such a strong sense of knowing the vicissitudes of the journey ahead that one surrenders gratefully..."-Deborah JONES. The Weekend Australian. 22-23 March, 2003.
