The album received a 10 in Luister magazine and received rave reviews both nationally and internationally. Gramophone wrote, ‘Vos brings out [the music's] constantly changing moods with flair and clear affection. Caspar conveys the sense of surge and repose, mystery and exaltation that is such a hallmark of this composer.’ In March 2019, Caspar released his second album, entirely devoted to the Catalan composer Frederic Mompou. This CD was also enthusiastically received. NRC called Restart ‘an album to cherish’ and Trouw wrote ‘Vos proves once again that he is one of the best Dutch pianists of his generation.’ In addition to his performing activities, Caspar is also director of the Schiermonnikoog Festival.
