Reviews that came out on the CD

"The Violin Sonata captivates from its ambitious, symphonic opening onwards." BBC Music Magazine (4 STARS)

"He [Monteiro] is a superb violinist, exhibiting flawless technique, beautiful tone, and musicianship of the highest order.
Bruno Monteiro, Miguel Rocha, and João Paulo Santos perform miracles in the playing of them. I doubt that you'll find them better presented than they are here." Fanfare

"with their tastefully applied portamentos and the crushed-velvet throatiness with which they dig into their lower strings. This is Korngold played with determination." Gramophone

"It remains that already in the trio the musicians show passion and present a vital interpretation." Pizzicato
