Babayan clearly commands a wide repertoire. The Messiaen selection offers scintillating pianism but lacks depth; not a problem in Vine’s engaging and resourceful sonata. The Respighi items are lovingly played: how about a disc of his piano music and a complete recording of the Ligeti – reduced to brief encores here?'
