Andrew Harley and John Fadial first performed toge ther as faculty colleagues at the University of North Carolina and have ma naged to continue their collaboration. Their 2019 release of the complete Brahms Sonatas for Piano and Violin on the Centaur label met with critical acclaim and has stoked intense interest in their unique brand of imaginat ive and expressive interpretation.\n\n“Rich tone and elegant phrasing… (Harley- Fadial Duo) … Five Stars: a fresh rendition by a pair of elega nt artists….” (Peter Burwasser\, Fanfare)\n\nEmploying a sweet\, suppl e tone (more French than Russian) and the avoidance of cliché throbbing R omantic style\, Fadial personalizes these scores in such a fashion that yo u cannot tear yourself away. Andrew Harley has made a specialty of collabo rative pianism\, teaching and performing on an international scale\, and t he Brahms violin sonatas could hardly be bettered to display what collabor ation means. He is a superb interpreter of the piano part\, effortless in technique\, eloquent in expression. But in addition\, Harley blends so sea mlessly with Fadial that we get the alchemy that results when two musical minds are in perfect sympathy. Five Stars: “…these could hardly be bet tered” (Huntly Dent\, Fanfare).\n\nOver my years with Fanfare\, I’ve r eviewed countless recordings of Brahms’s violin sonatas. Some I’ve pan ned\, others I’ve praised. But I can honestly say that I’ve never hear d these works played like this. John Fadial and Andrew Harley bring an int erpretive vision to the music\, which\, in my experience\, is unique and\, crucially\, convincing\, and compelling. Of the two-dozen or more version s I have of these sonatas on my shelf—a number of which I really like— I can see myself reaching for Fadial and Harley before any of the others. Urgently recommended. Jerry Dubins Five stars: “Extraordinary music-maki ng\, truly visionary” (Jerry Dubins\, Fanfare)\n\nHarley-Fadial Duo’s recordings of works for Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and Brahms may be found on Amazon\, iTunes\, and Spotify.
