Some quotes from reviews of VOID Classics recordings:
Toccatas
Indeed, Janssen's performance outclasses Glenn Gould's on Sony, long the only piano recording of the toccatas I could listen to.
(American Record Guide)
Das Wohltemperierte Klavier
Janssen has admirable skills for the task: a pianist's sensibility, an unflagging imagination, and compelling musicianship. His WTC 1 stands as one of the best I know. He impresses me, in particular, for his projection of the work's larger structure...
(American Record Guide)
Partitas
Janssen delivers a more expressive and attractive reading of these pieces than I've heard in a while. ...
I rarely hear Bach played with such reverence and imagination as in Janssen's Partitas, making them one of the real discoveries in recent Bach piano recordings.

Ten Holt
His digital dexterity on this disc is nothing short of phenomenal, as is his stamina. In addition, I take the composer's expressions as indicating that Janssen contributes much to these works. However the credit should be apportioned, the result is music that is fascinating and totally convincing.
(Fanfare)
Chopin
With the Nocturnes Janssen demonstrates his ability to phrase naturally. These are beautiful performances and may be positively compared with any.
(American Record Guide)
Schubert
His Schubert Sonata compares favorably with the readings of Lupu and Schiff. The Traume-like Andante is particularly captivating. In the popular Wanderer Fantasy his propulsive reading gives the piece an immediacy that ranks with the best accounts of this oft-recorded piece.
...This is a performance to rank with Brendel, Curzon, Gilels, Kissin, Perahia, and Rubinstein.
