"I have heard several performances of this piece (Beethoven A major sonata) over the past 30 years or so, some of them by famous cellists; but this one, by a cellist in her early 20s, was the most musically complete and satisfying."
The Irish Times"Cellist Ailbhe McDonagh and pianist Michael McHale represent two of the most promising and award-laden young musicians working in Ireland. This recital proves that the coupling of these two musicians could provide a formidable act in its own right. A commendable recital by two fine musicians."
