TAGI REVIEWS

Igor Begelman, clarinet

The Inquirer, Philadelphia
"The young Russian-born clarinetist Igor Begelman...has reached a level of security in which the clarinet is his voice. Listeners  were not aware of fingers, keys, reeds or breathing as he effortlessly searched the limits of the instrument's capacities. Its limit was only that of Begelman's imagination, and there was no sign of any boundaries  in this program."

Tatiana Goncharova, piano

Washington Post 
“…this musician is on the threshold of a brilliant career.”

Providence Journal
“A sensational pianist…epitomizes the best of Soviet training with a fluid, detail-rich approach that made measure after measure jump off the page…”

Buffalo News
“Superb pianist…displayed a detailed and bravura technique. Compelling energy…the performance exuded excitement.”

 

Andrew Janss, cello

New York Times
“…a glowing tone and insightful musicianship.”

“…full-blooded rendition …played with sumptuous elegance.”

Classical Music Guide
“Cellist Andrew Janss played an extended solo barcarolle with ravishing beauty.”

Grigory Kalinovsky, violin

Strings Magazine
"…an intelligent, probing violinist… easily shifting from lyricism to playfulness to tragedy."  

The Vancouver Sun
"…I consider this disk a must-have... for the fact that you could hardly expect to hear it more rapturously performed than by these two young Russian-born artists."
(5 stars)

International Record Review
“…Kalinovsky and Goncharova play with an emotional intensity which their distinguished Russian predecessors, for all their overwhelming mastery, don’t always match.”
