A beautifully and sensitively played programme for viola and piano

Summary of the short review of AppassionAlto (Prospero, PROSP0045) in Pizzicato, the Luxembourg classical music magazine.

Remy Franck awarded the album five stars, praising Marc Sabbah and Eliane Reyes for "extremely sensitive and immediately appealing interpretations": Schumann's Märchenbilder (wonderfully intimate and often dreamy), Vieuxtemps' Elegy (enchantingly cantabile), Frank Bridge's two pieces (full of tension and expression) and Falla's Siete canciones populares españolas in Sabbah's own arrangement. He notes Sabbah's very singing viola playing, which imitates the turns of the human voice.
