Borrowed Time music by Dave Maric, CD on Onyx
“…this is ultimately Currie’s disc and his playing, with its vibrancy and focus, is captivating throughout.”
Daily Telegraph September 2007
Bach & Ligeti, CD on Ambroisie
“Tamestit’s lively, historically informed manner extends through the earlier movements of the Partita, the rhythmic character of each dance emerging with great clarity. The performance of the Ligeti – a magnificent, enthralling piece that’s already emerged as a peak of the viola repertoire – is extraordinarily clean and accurate.”
Duncan Druce, Gramophone August 2007
John Adams Complete Piano Music, CD on Naxos
“…van Raat obtains a near-hypnotic control in the two early pieces, almost mechanical in its reliability, and he bubbles with life in the later two”
Martin Anderson, International Piano Magazine March/April 2007
“Van Raat made Phrygian Gates grippingly sing, breathe naturally, blindingly change colours, fill the space with sonorous sounds and whisper intimately. Breath-taking”
Anthony Fium, Luister June 2007
Ciaccona: Bach, Bartok, Hartmann, CD on Altara
“…though obviously a splendid violinist, it’s her musicianship and emotional involvement that continually stand out”
Gramophone May 2007
“Technically faultless and consistently interesting, this is an extraordinary recital”
