'The pure formal splendour of their playing plunges the listener into the heart of the polyphonic writing that Brahms deploys throughout the two opuses.'
Artamag
Disc of the Week: 'For anyone who wants to discover why women composers deserve and benefit from more attention, this disc is an absolute zinger. Golda Schultz’s debut recital really is something special!'
Europadisc
'Prohaska transcends all genre boundaries in her choice of pieces ... A convincing album with many facets!'
Rondo
'Asmik Grigorian's voice is simply enchanting and so variable in vocal nuance that every emotion gets its due expressiveness without sounding forced. She has a dizzying pitch that never becomes shrill.'
Klassiek Centraal
'The album is very successful, the musicians are in perfect harmony ... Everything comes to rest just where it belongs. And the listener is happy.'
MAD, Le Soir
'Nothing sounds stale here, everything has an enormous alertness and freshness. The album has many melancholic tones ... but you never have the feeling that the music has robbed you of hope.'
SWR2
'Grigorian's voice ... pulls you into a whirlpool that charges at the electric contrasts in the music. Lukas Geniusas is a strong partner with enough guts and presence to follow in the footsteps of the legendary 'Rach'.'
De Standaard
'The girls’ chorus is divine, and the lightness and grace of the strings all one could ask for.'
