About

“the depth of rich and floated tone … tremendously impressive … pizzicato spot on … rhythmic nuances conveyed with dazzling precision” – MusicWeb (CD 2)

“These discs reveal Primrose in all his technical and expressive glory. The range of tone-colours is phenomenal, the left hand performing feats of digital dexterity ...  the bow arm’s seductive slowness or biting incision …Transfers are vital and lifelike” – MusicWeb (CD 3)
