"[Bartok] produced a knotty Sonata for Solo Violin that has always posed problems for performers and listeners alike. Hanna Lachert, a violinist with the New York Philharmonic, conquers them all with ease. Without ever sacrificing a focused tone of singular beauty and depth, she sustains the high-tension linearity of all four movements articulates the notes with biting precision and still manages to project the essential lyricism of the music." — The New York Times "Une très belle version de la Sonate de Bartok Très à l'aise dans les périleuses difficultés de l'œuvre, dont elle gomme peut-être le caractére parfois abrupt et rocailleux; elle en donne une interpretation trés rafinée, et introvertie." — Le Soir, Brussels "Bartok's Solo Sonata almost defies a completely adequate performance, but Miss Lachert controlled the notes as few can. The lean purity of her tone was astonishingly accurate even inn the most awkward passages, and the measured intensity of line brought the entire piece into vivid, cogent focus. " — The New York Times
