„The Art Music Lounge, USA/international (06/2020)

„WHAT A PERFORMANCE! WINNER 2020″

This is clearly one of the best chamber music releases of the year, highly recommended.“

„THE NEW LISTENER (08/2020)

[…] Die Sonaten fügen sich im Programm wunderbar zusammen […] hinreißende Melodien, abrupte bis ruppige Wechsel, harmonisch vagierende Akkordverläufe und ein Gespür für Proportion. […]

[…] Eine perfekte Symbiose zweier optisch ähnlicher, klanglich aber vollkommen unterschiedlicher Instrumente.„

„RADIO BREMEN, GERMANY (07/2020)

… intensiv und spannungsgeladen gespielt … Eine tolle CD mit Kammermusik abseits vom Mainstream, und 2 fabelhaften Interpreten.„

„nmz- Neue Musikzeitung, Deutschland/international (07/2020)

… überzeugende, energetisch durchpulste Deutungen der Violinsonaten Bartóks und Janáčeks … Aufhorchen lässt die Ersteinspielung der Viola-Sonate von Leistner-Mayer … Eine willkommene Repertoirebereicherung!„

Schumann Brahms Vol. 1

„KLASSIK HEUTE, GERMANY (10/2018)

(10 of 10 points top recommendation of the month)
What is played here comes from all of the soul, follows the
finest emotions of the soul brightly awake and opens unconditionally to all emotional storming… With all their
attenion to detail finesse and rushing virtuosity, this duo
knows how to maintain equal symbiosis at every moment.“

„CLASSICAL MUSIC SENTINEL, CANADA (11/2018)

They seem to share an instinctive awareness of each other’s expressive and dynamic attention to the score, and automatically adjust their own approach to match the other’s, without falling into follow the leader roles.“

„OPUS KLASSIEK, THE NETHERLANDS (12/2018)

This is an inspired way of making music, and that is what it isall about in the end.“

She really skillfully makes us hear the different voices in her score, with a wide range of sounds… A CD full of charm, to listen to without restriction!“
