"The Bach Suites for cello have successfully been recorded on the viola, and as these sonatas are less challenging in a technical sense there is no reason they shouldn't work in this higher but still mellifluous register ... This is a superbly balanced recording, with good presence for the harpsichord and plenty of detail from both instruments while allowing them to blend nicely. The viola has plenty of passages where it is an equal and accompanying partner to the keyboard, and these effects work here as well as I've heard anywhere. Tempi are conventional, with briskness not taken to extremes, allowing for bounce and 'swing' in the Allegro movements ... All in all these are highly satisfying performances, and you don't need to be a viola enthusiast to appreciate them".
