“The duo communicates musical intricacies effortlessly, compellingly and with a great sense of colour and style.”

“A lyrical, sensitive performance by two fine musicians.”
Alan Belkin, Composer

“The Chartré-Salov tandem is particularly eloquent in the Schumann. One can hear a similar tenderness, both at the level of the touching cantabile of the cello as well as the subtle moving canvas that Salov weaves for our greatest pleasure!”
Mathieu Lussier, Artistic director of Arion Baroque Orchestra
