“… These are committed performances of some interesting music … I’m glad that I was able to hear them and hope that Ivakhiv has luck presenting more works of this quality.”

“… The world-premiere recording of the1927 Violin Sonata in A Minor, Op.18 by Viktor Kosenko (1896-1938) is quite lovely, a lush, immediately accessible work beautifully played. The 1991 Violin Sonata No.2 by Myroslav Skoryk (1938-2020) with its “pointed allusions to Beethoven, Prokofiev and Gershwin” is another winner, with more fine playing…”

“… Viktor Kosenko’s Sonata of 1927 immediately commands attention for its simmering, Slavic-Brahms melodic flavour and innovative approach to form... Ivakhiv makes light work of the angular, neo-Prokofiev violin-writing in Myroslav Skoryk’s Second Sonata of 1991…”
