Awards and reviews

14th May 2003

Pires is best known as an outstanding Mozart interpreter, and she brings a very Mozartian sense of balance and nuance to her Beethoven. Dumay if anything outdoes his accompanist on understatement, with a liquid violin tone, very little attack and no unnecessary inflection. The performances never feel showy, even in virtuosic display passages.
