"I found myself listening with ever increasing pleasure to the playing of McDonagh and O'Conor and to the richness of the recorded sound that captures them so well ... McDonagh plays with flawless technique, faultless intonation, and a strong yet meltingly sweet tone."

Fanfare Magazine

"McDonagh and O'Conor take the opening of Op. 102/1 to whispered heights, and again later there is a most appealing sense of two-as-one. They find buoyant, almost dancing, rhythms."
