"Bartók's Sonata presents some of the most technically stretching music written for solo violin. Viviane Hagner is completely in control from the start, with pin-point accuracy of intonation and an intensity which is subtly varied, but never relaxes." BBC Music Magazine, April 2007 ****

"Technically the performance is immaculate, and many passages of double stopping are perfectly tuned. Karl Amadeus Hartmann's Suite No.1 receives a superb account, one where Hagner's rhythmic freedom in shaping each movement to such good purpose elevates the score to a masterpiece of the genre. Even the fiendishly difficult crossing of strings in the final Ciaconna is taken with effortless security…" David Denton, The Strad
