Bravo-very sensitive playing! Sound is everything and for instance your lack of a pinched nasal sound so welcome. Instead of pressing the sound especially on the A string your connective use of bow and proper speed with beautiful vibrato make it a pleasure to hear you!
What a beautiful performance and a beautiful recording. Listening in my recording studio the viola is so rich, balanced brilliantly with the piano. The acoustics are gorgeous too.
A harmonious duet, an exciting dialogue an cultural dispute - everything is heard. If one tool in places slightly dominates or shows an individuality..., only there where is a lot of sense of mutual respect that only when there is an interesting argument.... Whot to say and how to say...
Positivamente sorpreso dalla qualità di queste giovane interpreti. Avevo visto precedentemente il video della coppia Bashmet-Kissin, e sinceramente mi è piaciuta molto di più questa. A dimostrazione che a volte i "mostri sacri" possono non essere in serata.

Amazing performance... Well balanced and you both show that you really feel what you are playing... I would like to know which strings brand/s are you using? Thank you for playing and choosing the viola!
Well played by both violist and pianist. Beautiful!! However, I'm not sure I'll get used to the virtual music stand used by the violist. Just call me old fashioned, plus my eyes aren't very good, so couldn't imagine reading something so small. And, I like paper. That's why I read books instead of a Kindle. I know that it is better for the environment, but just looks strange to me. Doesn't effect her beautiful playing.
Nick York and Lepewhi, agreed re digital music stand. Or stand of any sort. Why didn't she memorize the work? She plays SO well otherwise it's odd that she's not playing by heart.
Traditionally, chamber music is not played by heart. It is not a matter of "not being able to memorize", it is a matter of always having the score in front of you to stay connected closer to your partners. Both me and Milena know this music well enough to be able to play it without score, and yet we prefer to do what is more advisable. Memorisation is for concerti and solo recitals.
It's so hard to make this Sonata sound effortless on viola-but it's done here. This is the best I've heard.
Played this piece on clarinet when I was in med school . Its a soulful piece,
Wow, this recording is PHENOMENAL! I'm in love with the piece now...

Beautiful! I love how the lyricism and the drama dwells together in this piece.
Perhaps the ideal performance, at least to my ears. What a beautiful sound and mood.
Never imagine viola sonata can be so beautiful. Well played by both artists!
Beautiful performance ♫♪☺

She can turn the pages with her foot though!
