Press resonance:

In summary this CD is a very good listen with more than usual significance. The playing is superb and the interpretation fascinating. (Peter G Howell, CD Spotlight, 11.11.07, UK, whole article)

Eksivad need, kes arvavad, et klavessiin on üks kuiv ja igavalt “plõnksuv” instrument. Sellesse plaati süvenedes peaks igaüks selles veenduma: Imbi Tarumi mängus on palju huvitavaid värve, peenekoelisi figuratsioone ja põnevalt kõlama pandud muusikalisi karaktereid. (Igor Garšnek, Sirp, 18.01.08, Estonia, whole article)

Pilli kandev, mahlane kõla, suur ulatus, registrivalik ja mängutehnilised võimalused sobivad väga hästi just ptantsuse kõrg- ja hilisbaroki muusika esitamiseks. Suurepäraselt kõlavad sellel klavessiinil Antoine Forguerary palad, kus pääseb täielikult mõjule sume ja laulev bassiregister. (Iren Lill, Muusika, 10/2007, Estonia)
