Here are links to some of Jed's reviews on Classicstoday.com:Mozart Sonatas - https://www.classicstoday.com/review/review-9108/?search=1Mozart Concertos - https://www.classicstoday.com/review/review-3408/?search=1Liszt - https://www.classicstoday.com/review/review-13884/?search=1Bach - https://www.classicstoday.com/review/review-13776/?search=1Schumann - https://www.classicstoday.com/review/review-3829/?search=1Beethoven - https://www.classicstoday.com/review/review-6210/?search=1Chopin - https://www.classicstoday.com/review/review-3293/?search=1Lastly, Jed's 2001 booklet notes for “Young Brendel – The Vox Years” were reproduced in this review, just scroll down and you'll found them. Apparently Brendel hated these notes, but can you blame him?http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2001/apr01/brendel.htm
