“The three studies for solo clarinet mimic birdsong in the first movement, the second is more introverted and evocatively melancholy, with an increasing intensity, and the last, describes a tireless machine. Anna Paulova’s interpretation is fascinating.”
Pizzicato, August 2023
“Everyone deserves credit for a concert very well played. Paulova and her collaborators dig into Husa’s unapologetic modernism, at once bold, brooding, contemplative, and powerful; and they render his disjunct lines, dissonant harmonies, and wild special effects with expansive dynamics and sincere romantic phrasing.”
American Record Guide, October 2023
“Martinůs „Sonatina" (1956), ein Spätwerk reinsten Wassers, klingt in der intensiven Interpretation von Paulová und Kahánek regelrecht heimwehkrank. Husa führt Martinůs Idiom in der „Sonata á tre" (1981) an den Rand der Atonalität. Ein überwältigendes Album!”
Fono Forum, October 2023
“Anna Paulová displays an attractive tone, and her reading is dynamic… This recital helps me appreciate Husa’s range, and although not everything here is easy to like it’s all real music by a real musician. Paulová and her colleagues provide excellent performances. Recommended.”
