January 2016 - Brahms review
Here's what Fanfare (USA) has to say about our Brahms Sonatas disc:
"violinist Sadie Fields... plays with a richly nuanced tone of pure liquid gold."
“ Young matches her with a prodigious technique that demonstrates the full range of his artistry and his piano’s capabilities.”
“[of the D-Minor Sonata (No. 3)] ... in a reading shot through with dynamic and dramatic intensity.”
"this latest entry by Sadie Fields and Jeremy Young is definitely one I shall be keeping and returning to often. “
"Very strongly recommended.”
