'Hamburg-born pianist Nils Frahm spent the last few years creating wondrous, haunting music' - Mojo (UK)

'Already a recognised figure in musical circles, Nils Frahm is now gaining access to a wider audience with these two releases. While The Bells and Wintermusik present different facets of his music, they above all showcase the man’s exquisite talent and his perfect command of his art' (4.7/5) - The Milk Factory (UK)

'Wintermusik is a genuine charmer... simply a disk of engaging, well-played music, suffused with a positive vibe' (8/10) - The Silent Ballet (US)

'Haunting modern composition from Nils Frahm... These three long form pieces (thirty minutes) chime with elegant piano playing and a gorgeous spare minimalism' - Bleep

'This is an achingly beautiful album from Frahm - enough so to have you craving Christmas in the middle of July. Very highly recommended' - Boomkat

'In a word it's gorgeous neo classical wares…as beautiful as it is maudlin' - Norman Records (UK)
'What I like about his compositions and his playing is that it taps into something naïve and unashamedly emotive, while never seeming like a two dimensional imitation of an archetype. It seems to me that Frahm absorbs what he sees and how he sees it, imbuing his music with something more than a desire to be praised for his ability' (8/10) - Strange Glue (UK)

'Frahm weaves multiple melodic lines into delicate and highly mobile wholes that are as entrancing as they are pretty. ...Frahm's music exudes a spontaneous quality and an organic character in the degree to which the melodic materials so naturally entwine themselves into elegant counterpoint' - Textura (US)
