“He captures the music’s essence with such a close sense of recreative identity that it feels on occasion as though he could be composing it as he goes along. An outstanding debut” ★★★★★

– Julian Haylock | BBC Music Magazine

‘exhilarating and delivered with perfect clarity ... It’s a release that leaves one eager to hear Sughayer in other repertory while eloquently arguing that Khachaturian’s piano music deserves re-evaluation as something more than teaching pieces.’

– Patrick Rucker | Gramophone

''...Sughayer makes effortless work of all the numbers.”

– ★★★★★ David Nice | BBC Music Magazine 

‘…this Jordanian-Palestinian player shines'

– Michael Church | International Piano Magazine, February 2020 Critic’s choice

‘…his wonderfully confident pianism unfolds with a sense of ease.’

– Alexander Thompson | Piano Journal
