| "...I was surprised to find that the Hungarian violin virtuoso Jeno Hubay 1858-1937) also played and composed for the viola...It is an enjoyable work...better than many of the other viola concertos I have heard...Barsony is fully up to the technical and tonal demands of the piece, and the Erkel Chamber Orchestra is a polished group that produces a satisfyingly full sound...Peter Barsony is a good violist with consistently good intonation and an even vibrato in every register..." Joseph Magil, American Record Guide Jan/Feb 2011
"Bársony plays with confidence and ample technique. The recording reproduce faithfully Bársony’s highly personal tone”
Carlos Maria Solare, The Strad
“The piano part, filled with leaping chords and quicksilver runs, is virtuosic, but the dynamic Mr. Chen was its master.”
“a pianist whose playing is powerful and driven"
The New York Times
"His [Chen's] Diabelli easily qualifies for that rarefied niche of performances that can be termed ‘classic’.”
