The joyful virtuosity and stylish musicianship that Tomas Cotik and Tao Lin brought to their superb cycle of Schubert’s violin-and-piano works for the Centaur label happily permeate their cycle of Mozart’s sonatas

Cotik makes Kreisler seem almost smarmy, Isabelle Faust almost mannered, and Julia Fischer as though she´s filed down the detail

The CD recording is his seventeenth in ten years, yet no sign of fatigue is evident when his passion for the material translates into performances of immense appeal…Cotik invests the material with so much life. Listening to him play is never less than a pleasure, and all twelve pieces are brought vividly and expressively to life.
Textura

His sound is treated like a true craftsman, with just the right vibrato, intensity and dynamics controlled to the millimeter, transparency of layers, and a unique color for each string. It’s a commendable effort towards a new musical identity.

These are exactly what you would expect from Cotik–tasteful and well played.
