"Debussy, Elgar and Respighi don't usually come up in the same sentence, but all wrote their violin sonatas during or immediately following the first world war. James Ehnes and Andrew Armstrong make of them a satisfying recital disc that showcases Ehnes's warm tone and purposeful phrasing".

"Vurdering: Recording of the month" - "The Sonata is taken at a relaxed pace allowing the music to breathe and express its autumnal beauty. A notable performance to be compared with the very best in a competitive field [Elgar] ... This new recording must now take its place as the best reading of this work now available [Respighi]. Finally Sibelius's charming and brief Berceuse rounds things off. A well-conceived programme in first class performances".

"Vurdering: BBC music chamber choice. This is a radiantly engineered album of music composed around the time of the Great War, played with beguiling elegance by James Ehnes and regular playing partner Andrew Armstrong".

"Ehnes ist ein hochvirtuoser und musikalisch ausdrucksstarker Geiger ... Sein neues Album mit Violinsonaten ... verdeutlicht dies. Ehnes formuliert die melodischen Linien sehr klangschön, bringt das feine Timbre seiner Stradivari von 1715, der 'Marsick', sehr schön zur Geltung ... Andrew Armstrong passt sich ein in dieses von grosser Klarheit und Durchsichtigkeit getragene musikalische Konzept, dem jeder Manierismus fremd ist".

"This programme of First World War-era violin sonatas is about much more than just ravishing sounds. Ehnes and Armstrong are intensely communicative duo partners and both can draw on a limitless palette of colours. They've chosen to bring out the darker facets of these three troubled works ... If I've any reservations at all about this disc, it's that these two superb artists feel at all times in complete control of the music: you occasionally miss the sense of abandon that you get from Kyung Wha Chung ... But you never doubt that everything that Ehnes and Armstrong have to say ... comes from deep within the music. These are performances to return to".
