Georgian’s peanut butter-smooth tone is a perfect counterpoint for Nelleke’s rolling-agitated piano as they explore Robert’s Romanzen Op 94 and Clara’s Romanzen Op 22. - Muso Magazine

.. Georgian and Nelleke play both with such ardour and full-toned commitment that the music seems thoroughly idiomatic. - The Guardian
