More Selected Reviews of Recordings Gramophone "The second disc opens with a compelling performance from Karine Georgian and Ian Brown of the fine Cello Sonata of 1923. These admirable artists capture well this music's wistful, brooding atmosphere and are especially sensitive in the slow movement." (Chamber Works of John Ireland, Chandos) Gramophone "These persuasive musicians' [Karine Georgian and Pavel Gililov] sympathy for Brahms, equally as susceptible romantic and classical craftsman, struck me as of the unforced, intuitively perceptive kind." (Brahms Cello Sonatas, Biddulph Records) Daily Telegraph "Re-acquaintance confirms the impression that this was the best performance of the Triple Concerto I had heard; it remains so. Incisive, cogent, supremely articulate and full of momentum, it gathers the threads more tautly than, say, the composer's own accounts, yet there is no lack of warmth and tenderness." (Tippett's Triple Concerto, Carlton/BBC Radio Classics) The Strad "Cellist Karine Georgian gives a virtuosic and compassionate performance, particularly in the extended fourth movement, in which the cello and accordion intertwine and surge upwards with perfectly matched articulation." (Gubaidulina's Seven Words, Berlin Classics) The Strad "Karine Georgian has a fine feel for the elegiac qualities in the work [Kodály's solo sonata], emphasising the lyrical aspects and at the same time accomplishing the fearsome pyrotechnics with impressive facility....this is definitely a CD worth exploring." (Kodály Duo for violin and cello; Sonata for solo cello; Capriccio for solo cello, Warehouse Records) [ concert reviews ]
