Notes & Reviews:

Mozart and Beethoven were the same age when they wrote the pieces assembled here, and the tempestuous enthusiasm of their 27 years of age clearly shines in this music!

"The handsome releases of France's Alpha label, pairing music with directly or indirectly relevant artworks that are analyzed in detail in the booklet, offer listeners an opportunity to reflect on the connections between art and music at a given time... An exceptional performance of this repertory, splendidly presented and recorded." -All Music Guide

"This promises much and delivers amply. Fans of Hélène Schmitt will not be in the least disappointed: her performance here is magnificent and consistently exciting. Her approach is extremely forthright, even aggressive in the Mozart works. She clearly relishes a good dig into the strings; her playing is tonally rich and her phrasing full or variety...The flexibility of their ensemble playing is apt and effective." -International Record Review
