Quotes

Their variety of dynamics and articulation is impressive. The duo is clearly thinking and feeling in depth, exploring every piece in detail while conveying the grand structure through that very detail.
- Frank Wallace, composer & guitarist

What really engaged me is the musicality of the performances — everything from intimate dolce moments to power driven, exciting bravura moments. The impressive virtuosity is evident at both ends of that spectrum.
