“…The performers offer these two works in a way that is both freshly unaffected and carefully shaped. Both violinist Laurence Kayaleh and pianist Bernadene Blaha can also look back on geographically wide-ranging activities. They know how to translate these experiences into very appealing interpretations that show the two artists as sensitive players. In addition to pausing moments of performance, they offer powerful, expansive passages, so that the music both finds its resting points and is actively driven forward. Apart from harsh approaches by the violinist in Noskowski’s third movement, the musicians enhance the qualities of both works with their committed and cultivated playing, making it well worth listening to.” *****
