The New Yorker calls Hélène Grimaud "a reinventor of phrasings, a taker of chances" and her albums "highly personal explorations that can stand out among dozens of rival performances." This euphoric program marks the first time both she and Gabetta have recorded as a duo, and we hope it's not the last. "Sol Gabetta's playing, according to pianist Hélène Grimaud, is characterised by the 'light and warmth and vitality' indicated by her first name…. The duo's playful work on Schumann's Drei Fantasiestücke bears out both Grimaud's assessment and the pair's shared sensibilities. Brahms' Sonata for Piano and Cello No.1, though possessed of more gravitas, is more lightly dealt with than I've heard before, while they bring a questing spirit to Debussy's Sonata for Cello and Piano in D minor, Gabetta's robust pizzicato work in the second movement and Grimaud's animated runs in the closing section both evoking the early jazz influence of the late Romantics."—The Independent
