“. . . of the countless versions of these sonatas I've graced with favorable reviews, I believe that Green and Moyer's account stands tallest among them. . . . It takes a cellist of the highest caliber to do it justice. Nancy Green satisfies the requirement and then some. . . . This is urgently recommended. Five stars.” Fanfare

"committed, dedicated, gorgeous, and superbly interpreted performances. . . truly lovely and will make a fine addition to anyone's collection." www.cvnc.org

". . truly exceptional. . . this is the way Beethoven should be played." - Audiophile Voice

"… a contender for high honours… Green appears here in a truly balanced partnership with Moyer… Her tone is immaculate; light and lyrical in the delicate passages, yet full, rich and meaty as required. It is no wonder that she has been compared to such greats as Rostropovich, Yo-Yo Ma, Leonard Rose and Jacqueline du Pré. The production values are outstanding. This is a very welcome addition to my library." - The WholeNote

"Nancy Green, cello and Frederick Moyer, piano, offer a reading of Beethoven's cello sonatas, which I count without hesitation as among the most exciting and best I know. . . The two soloists inspire with unusually dynamic and virtuosic interpretations, in which the respective movements seem partly researched and partly straight from the gut. . . Thanks to an absolutely phenomenal recording technique, all the refinement and the raw edges of their playing come to the forefront, and as a listener one is immediately in the midst of the musical drama. . . Technical brilliance, committed interpretations, great interplay, a dynamic that always suits the works, and all this with a virtuosic, exciting style and great recording quality."
