A nice review of Schoenberg's Album!
American Record Guide July/August 2017
July 31, 2017
"The validity and musical interest in these piano transcriptions lies in the hands of the arrangers—Alban Berg (Chamber Symphony 1—one piano, four hands), Anton Webern (5 Pieces—two pianos), and the composer himself (Chamber Symphony 2—two pianos). The arrangements work well, no doubt owing to the skill of Fossi and Gaggini [...]. The pianists have near-perfect ensemble, and the recording is good. Gaggini’s extended booklet essay is also quite good".

An interesting article about Schoenberg's Album!
Gapplegate Classical-Modern Music Review
May 30, 2017
"...as to underscore how hearing these versions renew for us the hearing of the vitally new, the revolutionary core of the works as they sounded to listeners then [...]. There in short is a wealth of naked musical truth that showcases Schoenberg's remarkably forged vocabulary as if for the first time. Nothing can quite compare. Fossi and Gaggini bring a new brightness to these works and in their hands the transcriptions themselves are almost startling to hear now."
