This is a beautiful recording… Both of these musicians use modern instruments, but they do their best, without compromising expression, to approach matters of phrasing...excellent violin playing, excellent piano playing, and extremely enjoyable interpretations of music that I love.

outstanding from the very beginning...[The] notes don’t identify Cotik’s violin. In a way, it’s almost irrelevant, because playing of this strength would overshadow almost any instrument’s profile...Cotik and Lin should also raise appreciation of those already captivated by the works’ charms to an even higher level, offering insights and vitality in almost every measure to spark their enthusiasm. Urgently recommended.

Cotik gives a sense of gipsy exuberance to Allegro vivace finale of D. 574, and there is some continuation of this in the opening of the ‘Rondo brillant’ which makes for a fine centrepiece in this nicely balanced programme...this superbly produced Schubert disc, while just one in a somewhat crowded market, comes warmly commended.
