'The Sibelius is out of this World.' Rave review of Anthony/Edwards release in American Record Guide
05 January 2012
'Anthony has terrific tone and style-mellifluous yet strong... The Sibelius (an excellent companion to the Edwards) is out of this world... It's a full five minutes longer than the Heifetz (Chicago/Hendl RCA). Anthony isn't quite as fiery, but I like her approach better - and there's still plenty of warmth and great atmosphere ... Buy this release for both pieces: I'm tickled pink to have it on my shelf."
I have been completely bowled over by Edward's compositional technique (and tact). I've rarely had 25 minutes go by so enjoyably and never once drag. I'm sure some will think the concerto is shallow, but there is an undeniable confidence here, a great deal integrity, and a charming result.'

10 August 2011
Marked by Kristallnacht, the Great Depression and the beginning of World War II , the 1930s were an unquestionably important historical decade.
But because of that turmoil or perhaps despite it, those 10 years also happen to be among the most artistically rich of the 20th century, producing...
