This album was praised for celebrating the trembling and fluctuating moment of falling in love through its high level of delicacy and ideal harmony in addition to the program’s creativity. Erich W. Korngold’s Four Pieces from the Incidental Music, Op. 11, and R. Strauss’s Sonata for Violin and Piano in E-flat Major, Op. 18, and others are listed in the album.
