"I doubt it is possible to squeeze out more beauty of these works of melancholy, passion, delicacy and intimacy. All the playing is impeccable, very sensitive and Dumay's tune has sometimes a mystical aspect. The 1st sonata sets out with a lazy introversion, even some anguish; the second is less sad and more brainy, a very intelligent and highly varied work; the third bring us back to melancholy but ends passionately agitated. Highly recommended."

"I was introduced to to recording in a music theory class at Oberlin Conservatory. After almost a decade, this recording is still my favorite of the Brahms G Major Sonata and I purchased this as a gift. I love that the violinist does not over-vibrato, which is appropriate (in my opinion) for the earnest and soaring primary theme and the collaboration with the pianist is outstanding. I highly recommend this recording."
