Xiaoya Liu Delivers with Carl Vine Sonatas

Xiaoya Liu plays these works with authority and enthusiasm. Her touch is sure, and her phrasing nuanced. I highly recommend this recording -- both for the music and the performances.

Adrian Butterfield excels with Leclair Violin Sonatas

These may have been works written to develop the art of violin playing. Butterfield understands that they are also pieces to be listened to and enjoyed. And in that, he and his fellow musicians succeed.
