Van Pouck plays beautifully. In the Finale, van Pouck and company are exciting. The recorded sound is excellent. In the chamber pieces, the balance between the instruments is very fine and van Pouck’s cello exhibits a well-rounded sonority with a close-in perspective. If you are looking for the “complete” Schumann works for cello, this is a good choice.

... this is a recommendable production because of the rich-sounding piano.

Ella van Poucke and the pianist Jean-Claude Vanden Eynden play with authentic chamber music sensibility and they capture this poetic intensity very well.

This is an impressive debut album from a soloist whose performances I look forward to hearing more of in the future.

She has emerged thriumphant in an impresive list of competitions
