Seiler and von Immerseel create a sense of freshness and youth in all these sonatas that is seldom heard in recordings of them but which is nevertheless a chamber-music feeling that always seems to sit most comfortably with them. But, most happily, the combination of all these elements brings the listener closer to a more open, contented Beethoven - a rare and poignant perspective.

they make the strongest possible case for performing on period instruments...There is a pristine freshness to her astringent sound, ideal for the Spring Sonata, which can turn wiry in her fierce approach to the grand technical demands of the Kreutzer...there is joyous uplift in the scherzo and poco allegretto of the final masterpiece, Op 96, in G.

persuasively stylish...There's great energy and relish in the way both musicians approach these works...though just occasionally, as in the final sonata, the G major Op 96, their approach seems a bit strait-laced; a touch more fantasy, and more generous expressiveness
