discography

“This is a programme that some might consider somewhat outside the traditional classical sphere — and they would be mistaken. The composers featured here have more than proved their stature, and the way in which this music is conveyed by the deeply committed performers, and by the violist Dana Zemtsov — by turns a brilliant virtuoso, poised and stylish, tender or languorous — offers a richly coloured and thoroughly rewarding musical experience.”
-Crescendo Magazine, Jean Lacroix
"Fathers and Daughters’ celebrates the close familial and professional ties between these four musicians across a varied and judiciously conceived anthology that undeniably plays to their individual and collective strengths."
-Gramophone

"Dana Zemtsov is a superb player, making a beautifully rounded sound throughout the whole range of her instrument."
-MusicWeb International
"This newcomer is as strong as any of their main rivals, with Zemtsov’s warmly expressive playing matched by Fedorova’s nuanced accompaniment. (…) Zemtsov is much more than a viable alternative, exploring its vein of melancholy with real feeling. (…) demonstration-quality sound by Channel Classics."
-Gramophone (Guy Rickards)
Silhouettes
essentia
"(...) Dana Zemtsov’s playing optimally combines structural thinking and emotional expression. (...)"
-Pizzicato Luxembourg
romantic metamorphoses
"(...) a very personal disc (...) Zemtsov’s understated virtuosity is admirably balanced by the detailed refinement of Cathelijne Noorland pianism."
-Gramophone
enigma
"(...) up and coming sensation Dana Zemtsov has given us a fine album that never dulls, never bores, and shows just how rich the instrument really is—and all this without an accompanist. (...) surround sound is a perfect vehicle for solo instruments, and so the case is made here, with Channel’s superb engineering coming to the fore and manifesting Zemtsov’s amazing playing and beautiful tone with depth and luxuriant resonance. This is well worth the outlay, and I suspect that not a few people will come away with a new aural image of the viola ingrained in their minds."
