reviews

Martin and Cecilia Gelland are very much responsible for reviving interest in new compositions for violin duos and demonstrate in the best possible way the plethora of possibilities that exist even with just two violins. Their precision, sensitive approach to colour detail, their unparalleled coordination, faultless ensemble playing and their mastery of all techniques old and new are evident in this recording too, and they can truly be considered as one of the world’s leading violin duos.
Evis Sammoutis, Musical Pointers

I Lappalainens ”Violin Duo” finner jag en tvilling till ”Fingers to the Bone”, men det är mindre melankoliskt, med pizzicato och framträdande rytmiska inskott. Musiken söker sig mot laddningar och brister på ett par ställen i korta sammanbrott av sönderpressade toner. Det som gör stycket är just kontrollen över balanspunkten, detta ”eller” i att bära eller brista.
