"The sound was maddeningly familiar. A beautiful ballad melody spelled out by a pianist with perfect mastery of the legato line - the widely spaced notes leaning one into the next, the voice leading in the left hand, the little pools and eddies of ornamentation - was supported by brushes and bass. Surely this was a standard I just couldn't recall. Those rhythms seemed to imply the syllables of written words. But it was Chopin's Nocturne in F minor, played by the Ted Rosenthal Trio on their new CD Impromptu (Playscape)." — Jon Garelick, Boston Phoenix
