NEW YORK TIMES - Paul Griffiths
"...the dignity of her playing established her credentials. She made the frolicsomeness of John Corigliano's Sonata fun...She was splendid, too, in Brahms' G Major Sonata, which gained from the dark, rich-textured tone."
THE MIAMI HERALD - James Roos
"Janice Martin is a stunning talent.. Martin's supercharged performance of [Corigliano's Sonata] is the best yet.. This is playing of incisive drive, style and lyricism, crystal clear with dead-center intonation."
WASHINGTON POST - Ronald Broun
