"[Rachel
Barton and Wendy Warner] are major virtuosos who collaborate like
best friends
The players' coordination and virtuosity are
reminiscent of those of the best string quartets of today (think
Emerson), and the generous program is vividly recorded. A superb
disc in every respect. Encore!"
Editorial Review - Amazon.com
"Barton and Warner [play] this demanding music with virtuosity,
virility, and the ability to play an accelerando that really goes
over the top
Their Ravel balances lyricism with technical
brilliance in a performance that rivals Jaime Laredo and Yo-Yo Ma."
American Record Guide
International Record Review
"The musical communication between "childhood friends"
Rachel Barton and Wendy Warner results in a natural, brilliantly
effective dialog
Their partnership is a generous, equal one:
and their timbres are ideally matched... musicianship of mature
insight, hair-raising electricity, and intense involvement
Unhesitatingly recommended."
Fanfare
A January 2000 Strad Selection
"flair and imagination
intelligently realized... energetic
and intensely passionate... brilliantly conveyed
a most distinguished
enterprise."
The Strad
"There is a lot of energy on this disc, a lot of virtuosic
intensity and yet when gentleness and something lovely and tender
is called for, Ms. Barton and Ms. Warner are meltingly warm and
soulful. If you like chamber music for string instruments, you couldn't
ask for anything better than this CD."
