“… Throughout these performances, Konstanze Eickhorst revels in the brilliance of Farrenc’s pianism, overcoming the technical challenges of the outer movements of op.34 with panache; but she never overshadows her colleagues, ensuring the string lines come through the textures.” THE STRAD, November 2023

“Here, the assured lead by pianist Konstanze Eickhorst, propels the music forward and the ensemble as a whole capture, project and shed light on even the minor details of the score.” Classical Music Sentinel (Canada), October 2023

“… In short: down-to-earth classical music with a confident signature, excellently recognized and interpreted by the Linos Ensemble.” Musik & Theater, January/February 2024

“… het Linos Ensemble bewijst hiermee opnieuw dat het Farrencs kamermuziek in het muzikale hart heeft gesloten.” www.opusklassiek.nl, 19. October 2023

“The Linos Ensemble’s interpretations are chamber-musical in the best sense, balanced in partnership and infused with musicianship. Vital passages are just as pleasing as the lyrical moments. At the piano, Konstanze Eickhorst is a consistently fine performer.” pizzicato, 5. August 2023
