"A strong contender for classical CD of the year ... featuring the extraordinary violist Kim Kashkashian ... stunningly beautiful and profoundly moving ... resplendent ..."
- Los Angeles Times
"Five Stars ... the pièce de résistance is Betty Olivero's powerful and densely-worked Neharót Neharót ... it has the resonance of a major work ... its denouement is a brilliant rumination ..."
- BBC Music Magazine
Armenian American violist Kim Kashkashian presents this carefully composed programme exploring the fascinating connections between three contemporary composers from Israel and Armenia. With five pieces respectively based on traditional laments of the Near East, Armenian chant and Hasidic melody, the focus is on vocal expressiveness.
"... (Kashkashian) manages to cry the prayer from within the strings, to murmur the sacred text with no words ..."
- Eitan Steinberg
