About the music

Reviews

“Top Album of 2020 and Seal of Superior Quality”
— Coladario Magazine

“Top 10 recommended albums of the month”
— Ritmo Magazine

“This is one of the most successful recitals for viola and piano to have ever come my way! […] Powerful, technically perfect and musically involving […] of huge integrity and expertise.”
— Colin Clarke, Fanfare Magazine

“This is a recording to have and to hold dear.”
— Jerry Dubins, Fanfare Magazine

“The [Carr-Petrova Duo] are joined as one, mind, spirit, and soul. Each is an acclaimed, award-winning artist in her own right […] but when they come together as a duo […] they weave a very special magic spell… making music which transcends the surfaces of beauty of tone, touch, and technique…”
– Jerry Dubins, FANFARE MAGAZINE

“The music was superbly chosen and performed with technical brilliance and complete emotional engagement. […] one of the most compelling viola-piano recitals I have ever encountered.[…] This is a singularly lovely and engaging disc.”
– Henry Fogel, FANFARE MAGAZINE

“…the album reveals an unusual degree of intimacy and unity of opinion between the two artists, whose musical revelations seem to fit naturally, as if emanating from the same know-how, a degree of communication that is very difficult to find in any ensemble and that in this recording is perceived from the first chord.”
– CODALARIO MAGAZINE, Spain

“Beautiful, heartfelt playing!”
– Vincent Trauth, WILL RADIO

“Carr, undoubtedly one of the most interesting interpreters of the instrument today… exhibits both her sensitive and virtuosic side, and is reciprocated with the same interpretative mastery by Anna Petrova, a formidable pianist…
It is difficult to debut better than this.”
– CODALARIO MAGAZINE, Spain

“A superior interpretation […] of Rebecca Clarke’s Viola Sonata which could be known as the best interpretation of this sonata to date – especially for the deep sound of Molly Carr and the extreme sensitivity of Anna Petrova.”
– Gonzalo Pérez Chamorro, RITMO MAGAZINE, Spain

“Nuanced…Moving…Outstanding”
– David Olds, WHOLENOTE.COM – EDITOR’S CORNER

“Great recording!”
– CLASSICAL WUOT – AFTERNOON CONCERTS
