Kim Kashkashian is easily one of the finest violists to ever place her
bow on the instrument. She shines just as effervescently in the company
of an orchestra as she does solo or here alongside Robert Levin, a
trusty accompanist with whom she shares a palpable musical bond, and
puts the range of her talents on full display in this fine chamber
program of mostly rarities.
On the whole, this album is very warmly recorded. Levin pulls from the
piano an almost gamelan-like quality, while Kashkashian luxuriates in
the plurivocity afforded to her. She interacts with her instrument as
would fingers upon a spine and her tonal depth often breaches cello
territory. For anyone who is curious to discover what her playing is all
about but who is wary of her penchant for the contemporary, this is an
ideal place to start. (ECM Reviews)
