Stereophile‘s “Recording of the Month” for February 1984
“Imagine, if you can, a private recital in your own home by two consummate artists who play these works for their own delight as much as for yours. Imagine sound so completely and disarmingly natural that after 30 seconds you’re unaware it’s reproduced. That’s what this record is all about.” — Stereophile, February 1984
David Abel, violin, Julie Steinberg, piano. Performing Beethoven’s Sonata in G Major, Op. 96. This composition occupies a special place among Beethoven’s creations because it shows a unique quality: there is an Olympian elegance, a profound gentleness that pervades the entire work. Nowhere does Beethoven the earth shaker appear. Even the scherzo movement does not disturb this sustained thoughtfulness.
