Performance **** Recording ****

“The soul of this beautifully constructed recital is the luminous variety Hélène Clément extracts from the 1843 Giussani extracts from the 1843 Giussani viola … the anguished overlapping of mezzo and viola at the climax of ‘Where is it that our soul doth go?’ is one of many revelations on the disc.”

David Nice – BBC Music magazine – October 2022

“A compelling recital inspired by a celebrated instrument.”

Matthew Rye – The Strad – September 2022

“… a glorious disc, search it out.”

Gary Higginson – British Music Society – 25 July 2022
