“Arias and De-Poli give a raw performance”
“The familiar strains, lyrical, poignant, of Bach’s Air on the G String soothe the soul in this tense sweet parting of lovers Rebecca Arias and Luca De-Poli.”
“Like Kenneth MacMillan, Bridge is very adept at creating uncomfortable atmospheres, and despite the piece’s relative shortness, it felt incredibly tense”
