This beautifully engineered solo recital with pianist Lars Vogt demonstrates [Roberts's] many strengths, not least a honeyed tone and a capacity to project a real sense of intimacy...In many respects their view of the music perfectly accords with the autumnal nature of Brahms's late style.

[Roberts] brings to the Brahms sonatas an expressive intensity and sense of nostalgic longing that goes straight to the heart of these miraculous scores. She also captures memorably the spellbound fantasy of Schumann's elusive Märchenbilder...The way Roberts and Vogt gently ease the tempo and sensitively shape the magical coda of the Second Sonata's opening movement is worth the asking price alone. Highly recommended.
