Piano Trios - Boulanger Trio      (7 of 8 found this review helpful)
  April 14, 2013

I bought this disk already some years ago and it has become one of my favourites. That is one of the reasons why I believe that the extraordinary musicianship of these three ladies, making up the ‘Boulanger Trio’, however belatedly, deserves to be noted on this site.

For most, these sonatas may not be a top choice, but it certainly ... more
Sonatas for Viola & Piano Vol. 2        (8 of 9 found this review helpful)
  October 27, 2012

This is superb stuff! Julia Fisher, asked how she manages to play so very well in tune, replied that she always listens to what she is playing. She was not suggesting that some simply put their fingers in the required position, hoping that a fair amount of vibrato will make it sound right, but her ... more
