“…An auspicious Beethoven recital, then, by two outstanding musicians whose consonance and synergy are once again to the fore. While their Kreutzer sonata could perhaps do with a little more cut-and-thrust, these are nonetheless impeccably executed performances…”

Des Hutchinson - MusicWeb-International.com – 18 July 2017

“…[Beethoven’s Sixth Sonata] responds particularly well to James Ehnes’s velvet cantabile and purity of intonation”

Diapason magazine (France) – April 2017

“…There’s a clarity of ideas that means they never have to overstate...For some listeners, the featherweight diction won’t be brawny or volatile enough for mid-period Beethoven, but it would be wrong to mistake cleanliness for lack of emotional heft...The uncluttered, conversational generosity of this duo speaks volumes.” ****
