"Perfect balance - cello-piano duo of the future"
Süddeutsche Zeitung

Mendelssohn-Bartholdy

"The duo... turns this music into a celebration. Everything sings and sounds... A coherent overall view and a successful contribution to the Mendelssohn Year!"
FONO FORUM!

"The duo Arp/Frantz understands the expressive nuances of Mendelssohn's music... fusing restlessness with lyricism and yet allowing a classicist brightness to float above everything - that is the trademark of this ensemble."

"... A recording that makes you want to hear more of Mendelssohn's chamber music ..."
(Arte Kultur, April 2009)

"With the CD by Julian Arp and Caspar Frantz, the still young Mendelssohn year certainly has one of its first highlights... You have to flood the market with such care and seriousness..."
Klassik.com (Tobias Roth, March 2009)

"...Julian Arp and Caspar Frantz approach this highly demanding music with sensitive virtuosity, with a feeling for sound and construction, for style and structure - but there is never the impression of dry headiness. The approach is warm and soft, but not softened ; emotional, but not emotional..."
Leipziger Volkszeitung (January 2009)

"In 2006 they won the Mendelssohn Bartholdy Prize. The cellist Julian Arp and the pianist Caspar Frantz prove why they deserve it on their extremely subtle Genuin CD..."

„Time isn‘t passing“: Bach/ Kurtág

"Their high technical level gives them the opportunity to create a wealth of different timbres, and the interaction is finely coordinated. They have internalized this timeless music and pass it on in such a way that the listener can also immerse themselves in it."
The review by Ulrike Henningsen on NDR Kultur (10/2012)

Kiel News "The Arp Frantz duo offers a courageous CD that always remains accessible and its concept is convincing."
Kieler Nachrichten (11/2012)

"The New Music, performed in an accomplished and careful manner, is juxtaposed with a modern approach to Bach; Gouldian drive can be felt here beyond the instruments."
