Reviews
“In the case of this disc, Dissidents of the Gilded Age, violinist Charlene Kluegel and Pianist Katherine Petersen of Duo FAE [give] voice, with sensitivity and elegance, to a repertoire rich in expressiveness and character.”
— Marçal Borotau, Sonagrama Magazine“The two women tackled all with unsentimental verve, musical feeling and great technical skill. As a duo, they wield considerable power and play with precise phrasing. The rhythmic clarity in particular flattered the music, and brought out some fresh nuances in the pieces.”
— George Grella, New York Classical Review“It was breath-taking to experience such playing, big and energetic, yet refined and sensitive.”
