“There were high expectations [of this CD] even before I’d pressed play. What followed lived up to those expectations, and more… At first I was unsure why [the Scherzo in C Minor] was selected to be on this disc of full sonatas without its counterparts. As soon as I started listening the reason became apparent. It works as a great opener. It’s exciting and gives listeners a taste of typical Brahms chamber music, preparing us for the sound-world in which they are about to immerse themselves. The sheer amount of character in the violin alone (a 1757 model by J.B. Guadagnini) is instantly apparent, and what a beautiful instrument it is. Combined with the immensely skilful playing of Ms. Sant'Ambrogio, it is a delight to hear… The ‘Sonata in G Major’ is very lyrical, and the call and response sections between piano and violin are nicely balanced. Throughout the disc the instruments and players never overwhelmed each other. Each has his or her role and a distinctive character yet these are voiced without damaging the blend. There is no fight for dominance between the instruments, which is very nice to hear. Sant’Ambrogio and Winn are clearly experienced in performing together, and their combined musicianship is astounding… There is a directness of expression in Brahms' melodic writing that is remarkably intense, and it is recreated here remarkably well… [this disc] took me to a whole new level of admiration, not least because of the remarkable musicianship of these two performers… it really is a wonderful disc, and whether you are being introduced to Brahms for the first time or are a seasoned Brahms lover, this recording is a strong contender. “
