“The playing is stunning – from both performers – and the sound quality is ideal.”
John France, MusicWeb International
“It is a highly restless piece, given a powerful performance, with Handy playing with a fine grained tone giving focus to the intensity. An impressive debut from a young cellist.”
(on the Ireland Cello Sonata)
