Praise for Carmignola & Perahia's BACH
On Carmignola and Marcon's Bach Sonatas for Violin & Harpsichord:

"Their blended sound is sonically sumptuous and rhythmically exhilarating." -- San Francisco Examiner, April 2002

Listen to the album and watch exclusive video here!

On Perahia's Bach Keyboard Concertos Volume II:

"...another gem...a model of sublime articulation...deeply poetic in character and imaginatively exploitative of the modern piano's tonal palette." -- Baltimore Sun, April 2002

Listen to the album!

Hilary Hahn's Tour Postcards: San Diego, California
"For me, this week was a time of re-acquaintance with the Meyer Concerto (which Edgar Meyer wrote for me and I recorded in 1999) and discovery of a new place and orchestra."
