“…the audience today was treated to a recital of great poise and beauty by these fine young artists.”
“All these eerie songs (by Schubert, Clarke and Liszt) were superbly performed by Caroline and Sebastian, the singer’s excellent diction and dramatic skills to the fore, as the pianist conjured up watery nightmares to engulf the voice.”
