'Wispelwey always brings such a range of texture to his articulation and such airy luminescence to lyrical passages that he is a well-nigh ideal exponent,matched by the ultra -sensitive Paolo Giacometti. He truly sings the famous Song without Words, and the waltzes are a miracle of filigree virtuosity - particularly a breathtaking Minute Waltz..' Helen Wallace
Franz Schubert - Fantasy in C - Duo in A - Arpeggione sonata

Gramophone April 2010
'Cello transcriptions of violin works are surprisingly successful'
'I found the Fantasy, especially, remarkably convincing in its new guise. The transposition to cello increases the difficulties of what is already a demanding work, and enhances the sense of virtuosity as Wispelwey triumphantly surmounts each hurdle.
'..the performance of the Arpeggione is most accomplished...'
