CD Reviews

Duets from a lesser-known composer

Jill Malter | jillmalter@aol.com | 11/12/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Larissa Kondratjewa and Reinhard Schmiedel do a fine job of performing these rather pleasant duets by Robert Volkmann (a nineteenth-century composer). Volkmann comes up with several charming melodies, but there is a reason why he's not as famous as the more distinguished composers of his time: his compositions are not as deep, powerful, or masterful.

On the other hand, given that I was not expecting much, I was very pleasantly surprised. I recommend this CD."
