EXERPT FROM REVIEW IN THE PHILIPPINE STAR:
“Cellist and piano remarkably interacted in Rachmaninoff’s Vocalise, Beethoven’s Sonata No.3, Mendelssohn’s Leid Ohne Worte and Debussy’s Sonata for Cello & Piano…Duffill’s long sinuous, resonant tones reflected the exquisite lyricism of both pieces as she demonstrated impressive technical skill and sensitive artistry….”
