Thank you Jim, Michele is a very dear friend. Today I got the cds, and finally had a chance to listen to it.
I feel that it is very refreshing to hear such natural and fine musicality. Michele and her father, and of course, bellison, are such fine chamber music players. One has to be very humble to play chamber music like that.
