CD reviews

... The duo adopts a delicate Classicism for the three Schubert sonatas, never over-egging their darker hues. The players’ approach is always unified and ensemble is good.
Eva Steinschaden, a pupil of Ruggiero Ricci and Renato Zanettovich, produces a sweet sound, with a pleasing richness on the lower strings.
She plays the theme of the Andante of D 385 with charming gravity and excellent control, and the drama of its last movement’s interrupted cadence and miniature cadenza, while striking, never oversteps the stylistic mark.
The opening of D 384, in octaves between violin and piano, is nicely accomplished, and the pair attractively capture the tripping, carefree spirit of its Allegro vivace.
These are tastefully executed readings with some moments of real grace.
