"there is a musicianship that allows the music to emerge unscathed by performance inconsistencies." - The Strad (David Denton) February 2001
"There is a welcome flexibility in rhythm, Bach's ornaments played very quickly and slightly before the beat on which they are written. Indeed at times you feel van Dael is adding, with good taste, a slightly rustic atmosphere. The allegro movements are generally taken at a sprightly yet unhurried pace, so that the interplay between the two performers has a remarkable inner clarity. My only reservation comes in the finale of the third sonata, where the interpretation becomes a little too turbulent and aggressive. Elsewhere there is a musicianship that allows the music to emerge unscathed by performance inconsistencies." - The Strad (David Denton) February 2001
