“Canada’s chamber music treasure.”

“Canada’s chamber music treasure.”

“This is a truly beautiful CD.”

“Toronto’s Ensemble Vivant does a fantastic job with the nuevo tango of Argentinean composer Astor Piazzolla…these musicians capture the passion as well as the verve…the tango rhythm is there from beginning to end…careful layering for mood and tempo in Julien Labro’s arrangements…Wilson’s piano gives this music unerring drive and plenty of sparkle.”

“…pianist Catherine Wilson and her ensemble create a flavour of esoterica that touches the romantic in everyone…let it suffice that just when one thinks it can’t get better, it does on the next track.”

“This disc sings with heart-felt passion, tenderness, elegance and originality…a precious contribution to the roster of existing Piazzolla recordings…destined to become a classic.”

“Ensemble Vivant is led by piano virtuoso Catherine Wilson, and features violinist Erica Beston, cellists Amy Laing and Sharon Prater, Dave Young on bass, with Dave Campion and Philip Seguin manning percussion. It all makes for an exciting and vibrant album that is a sure fire hit.”

“This is wonderful playing. The vitality with which the ensemble brings to these pieces is palpable. One needn’t have latin blood in their veins to discern the commitment these musicians have to this project.”

“Catherine Wilson and this wonderful group of musicians have totally captured the romance and passion of Astor Piazzolla’s music. This is a truly beautiful CD.”

“To my heart, your rendition of ‘Oblivion’ is the most touching I have ever heard: Bravo!”
