“outstanding in every way. The repertory [of this
disc and More Cohler on Clarinet (024-102)] includes both of Brahms’ Sonatas,
and they have become my preferred performances…his sensational ability
to control all musical elements makes these late Brahms masterpieces even
more poignant…”
—Listener
“Vigorous, leonine readings…commandingly played…this is playing
of real distinction…in total command of every demonstrative and virtuosic
gesture…scintillating playing."
