Mari and Håkon Samuelsen press reviews

"It was virtually impossible to divert attention from the pair with their sensitive and athletic playing. Dazzling in their intelligence, the two played together as a mirror, with perfection, with great brilliance and virtuosity - a joyful and optimistic performance of the Brahms concerto. After leaving the stage to the thunderous applause, they gave the audience an exciting encore, a  Passacaglia by Handel" (Grazia Italia, May 2011)

"The brother and sister team of Mari and Hakon Samuelsen, both string players, also steps away from core Christmas repertoire with purely instrumental works, including isolated movements from Vivaldi's The Four Seasons. The pace never lags. Nothing overstays its welcome." (The Philadelphia Enquirer, December 2010)
