Some Reviews

"She cultivates an unusually large resonant tone, and relies on a bowing technique that is constantly secured and poised."
The New York Times

"The Shostakovich Sonata, which covers an especially wide range of musical gestures was particularly well realized with its diversity if expression caefully considered and convincingly unified. Ms. Feldman caughtthe tenderly capricious nature of the Beethoven most effectively, while the Chopin Sonata was phrased with real aristocratic elegance."
The New York Times
