…what I love about both these performances is their spontaneity, flow and warmth, their natural ease with the idiom of both composers. Walton achieves a fabulous legato in the Rachmaninov's Sonata, so that one feels it is really being sung… Grieg's Sonata is a more challenging work to negotiate. Walton can produce a special purity of tone, heard to great effect in a searching slow movement, but he also lets the air into his bowing in a highly articulate Allegro agitato. ...towards the end of the taxing finale... both players create a blazing climax, in which we taste the extent of their charismatic daring.

the musical give-and-take of these players is excellent: they seize upon the music with enthusiasm, energy and sensitivity – one can almost sense that they are keen to show us just how fine this music is … strongly recommended.
It is good to see these young artists taking up these works with such conspicuous success.
