"Tamestit's performance of the sonata is quite affecting, with a despairing, debilitated sound that's difficult to pull off. He treads into more controversial territory with his half-dozen transcriptions of Schubert songs for the viola ... A typically daring release from France's Naïve label, worth your time and money for the splendid performance of the "Arpeggione" Sonata".

"1824 hat Franz Schubert in Wien eine Sonate für ein neu entwickeltes Streichinstrument komponiert, den Arpeggione. Das Stück ist bis heute sehr beliebt, gespielt wird es aber meist auf einem Cello oder einer Bratsche. Der Gambist Lorenz Duftschmid hat die Komposition nun auf einem Arpeggione eingespielt, begleitet von Paul Gulda auf einem historischen Hammerflügel. Der Klangeindruck dieser bravourös gespielten Aufnahme ist faszinierend: Es überwiegend zarte, silbrige Farben, die sich hervorragend mit dem obertonreichen Hammerflügel mischen. Ebenso ausdrucksreich sind die zusätzlich eingespielten Notturni für Arpeggione und Gitarre von Friedrich Burgmüller".

"Die CD, die das allgemeine Blätterrauschen verursacht, ist sein Debütalbum mit dem Titel ‘Ohne Worte’. Sie ist eine merkwürdige Mischung aus Liedbearbeitungen von Schubert, Schumann und Mendelssohn sowie Mönkemeyers Interpretation der ‚Arpeggione-Sonate’. Irgendwie scheint diese Zusammenstellung nicht ganz glücklich zu sein ... Abgesehen von diesen Geschmacksfragen in der Programmgestaltung ist die CD ein sehr schönes Album geworden, auf dem Mönkemeyer mit virtuoser Technik und spielerischer Brillanz aufwarten kann".

"The chance to hear Schubert's Arpeggione Sonata played on an actual arpeggione, which it virtually never is, is an instant enticement here, but listener beware: this recording is very out of tune ... Yet it must be stressed that the flawed Arpeggione Sonata is only half the program here - and the rest of the program is fabulous".

"Recording of the month: Despite the slightly unusual combination of works, this CD provides a fascinating insight into the world of Schubert, and in its remarkable performance of the Piano Trio, ... This is great music-making. The Arpeggione Sonata is, of course, justly popular ... To let the music be itself in this way, an artful artlessness, is not easy, but is achieved here. Wonderful ... A quite outstanding disc of wonderful music".

"So, it is good to come across a version of this work which I thoroughly enjoyed. I shall still regard the Rostropovich/Britten as my ideal, but I cannot fault the playing or the interpretation given by Jonathan Swensen and Filip Strauch. They present this music thoughtfully and with little attempt at providing anything other the preservation of the charming and well-managed naivete of this music ... This present CD is the debut recording of both musicians ... It is a well-played disc that is surely an auspicious start to their recording career".

"Am Anfang steht Schuberts Arpeggione-Sonate, ein grossartiges Meisterwerk von betörendem melodischen Reichtum und musikalischer Tiefe ... Capuçon musiziert es auf seunem hervorragend klingenden Goffriller-Cello".

"These are fine, clear accounts. The Schubert may lack the dreamlike quality Britten and Rostropovich find ... A sense of fleeting movement is missing from the Schumann ... Their Debussy Sonata has the greatest sense of élan, and is full of character and pungent sensuality".

"Most interesting is Schubert's Sonatina, with grave formality in the first movement, Mozartian elegance in the second, and gravity in the vivace finale. All beautifully played".

"Certainly Maxim Rysanov makes the best possible case for hearing this version [Schubert}, delivering a wonderfully poetic account of the solo part with subtle and sensitive accompaniment from the Swedish Chamber Orchestra ... Rysanov's dazzling performance makes us believe that the work was tailor-made for his instrument [Tchaikovsky]. With the Bruch Romance we come to music that was genuinely conceived for viola and orchestra, and here Rysanov convincingly sustains the lyrical impulse in the writing. Despite its short measure this beautifully recorded release deserves a strong recommendation".

"Gäbe es nicht Schuberts berühmte Sonate in a-Moll, das Streichinstrument Arpeggione wäre vermutlich ganz vergessen ... Der Erfinder Georg Stauffer sprach von "Guitarre-Violoncell", das wie eine Gitarre gestimmt und wie ein Cello gestrichen wurde ... Der Arpeggione "starb" nach etwa zehn Jahren aus ... Gambist Lorenz Duftschmid spielt auf einer Kopie ... Sicher kann man nicht sein, ob der Arpeggione so geklungen hat. Duftschmid lässt ihn sehr nach Gambe klingen, ein wenig näselnd, aber voller, wärmer und lauter als die Gambe, mit vielen geraden, vibratolosen Tönen, die an- und abschwellen ... Seine moderaten Tempi gefährden die Lebendigkeit. Das Auskosten von Details lässt die Musik ins Manierierte driften. Zu selten, dann überraschend und packend, kommt die Dramatik der "Arpeggione-Sonate" zur Geltung".

"CDs des Monats: Mit ihrem fein differenzierten Klang, mit der liebevollen Verbindung der Töne zum Legato und mit einem untrüglichen Gespür dafür, wann ein Intervallschritt ein Millisekündchen hinausgezögert werden muss, um seinen melodischen Zauber zu entfalten, beglücken sie die Hörer ihren neuen Aufnahme ... Das alles ist natürlich nicht vollkommen neu, aber hier in einer besonders anrührenden Weise zu erleben, die diese Schubert-Aufnahme und das Trio Les Esprits selbst zu einer grossen Entdeckung machen".

"This recording is an accomplishment in both duo playing and musical insight, and everything on it is unforced and unfussy, but perfectly idiomatic in its own way ... [It] is the Debussy that is stand-out performance on this disc, played by both as if it were truly in their blood".

"Unsurprisingly, their reading of the Debussy Sonata is superlative ... With playing of such consistent intelligence and persuasiveness, it would have been fascinating to hear Capuçon and Braley in the rarely played Bridge Sonata. Still, their choice of the Britten Cello Sonata was the more obvious, and these artists make out an exceptionally compelling case for it".

"Grammophone collector: The trio ... approach Schubert's mighty E flat Trio with seriousness and refinement. They have the measure of Schubert's proportions; and from the opening gestures, with Weithaas's violin quavers buzzing quietly away in the background as Helmchen and Hecker exchange thematic ideas, this is a reading that combines symphonic scope with a deeply romantic sense of characterisation and emotional narrative".

"One does miss the hollowness of the clarinets low notes and the fierce agony of its high shrieks, but one wouldnt guess, from this splendid performance, that it wasnt originally for cello. And to follow the Bergs dark denouement with the rapt solemnity of Nacht und Träume is a masterstroke of programme planning".

"This is a suave performance; there's a wide range of expression and the more lively sections are played brilliantly, with plenty of spirit ... The song transcriptions are well chosen and faithful".

"Needless to say, Rysanov plays with consummate artistry and stylish aplomb throughout. I can also confirm that he benefits from razor-sharp yet always warmly affectionate backing from an eager Swedish CO under the excellent Muhai Tang ... By all means investigate, just don't expect any great revelations".
