notes
In its playing, its recording, and most of all its music, this is an enchanting disc. I cannot imagine any of this music being more beautifully and lovingly played than it is here by these two artists. The recording beautifully captures the ambience of the Great Hall of the Wharton Center at Michigan State University. High praise and recommendation on all counts.
