These sonatas by Beethoven, Schubert and Shostakovich and Tchaikovsky's Andante Cantabile are in diverse styles but share an intense lyricism and emotional expressiveness. The performances by long-time colleagues Marcy Rosen and Diane Walsh were recorded live in concert in acoustically glorious venues: the Art Deco Avalon Theatre in Easton, MD (Beethoven Sonata), the 1857 Renaissance Revival Mechanic's Hall in Worcester, MA ((Shostakovich Sonata) and the Benedictine monastery St. Martin's Abbey in Lacey, WA (Schubert Sonatina and Tchaikovsky Andante Cantabile.) "Rosen's sensitivity was noteworthy; her playing is highly musical and filled with succulent phrasing. Her tone was gorgeous.” - The Washington Post "Marcy Rosen played with passionate authority" - The New York Times "[Diane Walsh is] a performer of great honesty and integrity.... the Sonata in E major Op. 109, one of the sublime masterpieces in all of music, got a performance worthy of its status--lyrical, contemplative, powerful, and very moving." - The Boston Globe "...to each work [Walsh] brought not only 
a lovely tone and immaculate technique, but a deep sense of personal conviction." - The Washington Post
