“Full marks to this well-established  partnership for taking the trouble to mount to admirably focused recital.....Here was an exemplary, driving collaboration, confident in its negotiation …Tomaskova’s vehemence and Smolyar’s unfussy but determined drive well harnessed  for a highly persuasive interpretation”(The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, Australia, 2015).
