"around the head of Neveu is no gentle halo , but a flame of fire" (Gramophone) … “She was an incomparably promising young violinist. She won the inaugural Henryk Wieniawski International Competition in 1935, beating David Oistrakh; she was 15, he was 27. Perhaps her best-known recording is the Sibelius Concerto …Her unique quality was the intense and passionate beauty of her playing, an incandescent · and fiercely primitive passion that seemed always on the verge of breaking all restraint, yet just controlled by powerful will and intellect … As she played she crouched over her fiddle like a tense panther about to spring and she produced sound pulsed with unspeakable intensities… as one who was privileged to know her, I feel that the suggestive power of her personality comes most strongly from the Ravel Tzigane and the Sibelius Concerto.” (Walter Legge / EMI)
