“Susanne Beer... is a complete musician. I loved this performance and the marvellous contrasts of sound the cellist makes. Some of her soft playing is so beautiful that it is beyond praise. This is not a performance but an experience. Her playing is exquisite and lacking in mannerisms. She has a wonderful capacity to communicate. Her tone is ravishing and she puts the music first. This disc cannot be recommended highly enough. It conjures up all the best life has to offer.” – David Wright (Wrightmusic)
“A tour-de-force program... easily essential listening” – Chris Spector (MidWest Record)
