"Simonov delights in extremes of speed often taking the music shockingly slowly and then letting fly with a high octane rush."
(MusicWeb OCt 2005)
"Classic 'plums' from the Khachaturian ballets - all gloriously non-PC. Simonov delights in extremes of speed often taking the music shockingly slowly and then letting fly with a high octane rush. Now you know. Not routine music-making. Doesn't always work but when it does ... watch out."
