Another great review from Gramophone Magazine

This review was for the NZSO Naxos recording of Ferdinand Reis' music.
Uwe Grodd - Conductor, Christopher Hinterhuber - Piano

"Much of the credit for this recording's success is due to the verve and conviction of the soloist, whom I have not encountered before: Austrian born and a pupil of Lazar Berman, among others. If Howard Shelley is the current undisputed master in this kind of repertoire, Hinterhuber comes not far behind. The new Zealanders provide keen and sympathetic support under Grodd and the recorded balance is exemplary. This distinguished release is completed by the booklet from Allan Badley , who also provided the performing edition of these delightful concertos. If these two world premiere recordings are anything to go by, the complete Ries for piano and orchestra promised by naxos will be a most
welcome addition to the catalog." -- Jeremy Nicholas
