“Both Joël Marosi and Esther Walker infuse these movements with a multitude of subtle expressive and dynamic shadings which bring the music to life at all times.” (Classical Music Sentinel)

“They work together with greater thoughtfulness and, all in all, the result feels a bit superior to their direct competitors… This is worth your consideration for both the music and the lovely playing and recording” (American Record Guide)
