Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Son Steven and mother Carol Honigberg have an artistic collaboration on thoroughly equal terms. Neither instrument dominates in these performances; instead they play with proper balance and shared musical impulse. The cruel realities of the marketplace offer us this very well-recorded disc by less than famous performers at the same price as the two-disc set of all of Beethoven's cello works by Rostropovich/Richter (Sonatas) and Gendron/Françaix (Variations), making it difficult to recommend as a first choice. But anyone who hears this disc is likely to be quite pleased with it. --Leslie Gerber
