“Russell… manages to embody both a structural late-Baroque clarity of sound and (as the sonatas “age” over the course of the disc) glimpses of the nineteenth-century virtuoso… it is refreshing to hear musicians find enlightening and successful ways of celebrating and elevating our appreciation of the standard canon.”

Andrew Justice, Society for Eighteenth-Century Music

"The performances are absolutely top-drawer, simply bursting with life and with excellent ensemble work, great dynamics and virtuosity galore."

Terry Robbins, theWholeNote

"One of those unpretentious discs that is worth returning to because it is full of fine musicianship, rather than virtuoso point-scoring."

Simon Mundy, Present Arts

"Coupled with their immediacy of energy and emotion, the two players also highlight the earthy beauty of their instruments"

Andrew J. Sammut, EMAg, Early Music America

"This musical discourse is expertly depicted."

Elaina Burns, Piano Magazine
