"Miss Raymond and Miss Li-Cohen's noble performances of both sonatas ought to make this disc the first choice among modern recordings." — World Music Report

"Glorious is also a word that could be used to describe this recording. Noémie Raymond's sound is warm, rich, and expressive, with flawless intonation and a clear sense of melodic direction. Paired with Li-Cohen's virtuosity and elegant touch at the keyboard, the two exchange musical ideas seamlessly. They take the listener on a deeply satisfying journey through the sound worlds of Rachmaninov and Rebecca Clarke." — Chris Wolf, Classic 107

In this album cellist Noémie Raymond and pianist Zhenni Li-Cohen seamlessly unite two musical worlds through a dialogue between two musicians and two composers as they deliver deeply personal and expressive performances, immersing themselves in sonatas that have left a lasting imprint on their artistic journeys. The result is an intimate, heartfelt exploration of music's power to connect and inspire.
