"Isabelle Faust and Alexander Melnikov are typically attentive to every fleck of colour and change of mood in the Violin Sonata. Only the account of the Sonata for Flute, Viola and Harp (Magali Mosnier, Antoine Tamestit and Xavier de Maistre) disappoints. Not because of any shortcomings in the playing, but because the closeness of the recording deprives the elusive, melancholy work of some of its intimacy".

"This is Debussy's music distilled to its essence, played with superhuman concentration. Isabelle Faust is a superb, sinewy soloist for the Violin Sonata, with Melnikov a strong partner ... The Sonata for flute, viola and harp is gorgeous ... this is, surely, a definitive performance ... Williencourt plays the sombre Elegie superbly; Perianes provides a different, more assertive piano sound for the Cello Sonata. Queyras' control in this piece is definitive, as is his eloquence".

"Zum Abschluss des Debussy-Jubiläums 2018 hat Harmonia Mundi ein Album veröffentlicht, das sich den letzten Lebensjahren des Komponisten widmet ... Er wandte sich der Kammermusik zu und plante einen sechsteiligen Zyklus mit Sonaten in verschiedenen Besetzungen, von denen er drei fertigstellen konnte. Die Sonate für Cello und Klavier spiegelt den Kontrast aus dunkler Melancholie und kreativer Frische, den Jean-Guihen Queyras under der Pianist Javier Perianes wunderbar sensibel und eindringlich abbilden ... Der Violinsonate ... von Isabelle Faust und Alexander Melnikov ähnlich suggestiv gespielt ... Die Sonate ... von Flöte, Bratsche und Harfe ... Antoine Tamestit gibt seiner Viola hier stellenweise ein fremdartig anmutendes Timbre und findet mit Xavier de Maistre und Magali Mosnier wunderbar zarte Farbmischungen".

"Efter 20 år, hvor Debussy havde været optaget af at komponere i andre genrer, fandt han i kammermusikken et medie, hvorigennem han kunne udtrykke sig med den klarhed og enkelthed, som han ønskede ... Sonaterne er klassisk formede, og indholdet er koncentreret. Her er ikke en tone for meget ... Cellosonaten ... spillet med vibrerende fantasi af cellisten Jean-Guihen Queyras ... Sonaten for fløjte, bratsch og harpe er et himmerige af klangvirkninger. De tre franske musikere ... ånder musikken frem ... Sonaten for violin og klaver ... spillet uhyre indfølt af Isabelle Faust og Alexander Melnikov. De er detaljernes mestre. Der kæles for hver enkelt tone".

"Chamber choice: Debyssy's three late chamber sonatas are among the most exquisite of all his creative progeny, offering a tantalising fusion of the infinite and finite, of pseudo-improvisatory gestures ... Listening to Isabelle Faust and Alexander Melnikov deftly tracing the evanescent contours of the Violin Sonata comes therefore as something of a revelation. So, too, Jean-Guihen Queyras and Javier Perianes in the Cello Sonata ... Most striking of all is the enchanting triple sonata, whose harp-inflected musings appear to float free of musical gravity in this hypnotic account ... One of the most captivating releases of the Debussy centenary year".

"Editor's choice: Isabelle Faust and Alexander Melnikov's account of the Violin Sonata, Debussy's last completed score, embraces exquisite fragility and strength in equal measure ... Jean-Guihen Queyras and Javier Perianes's performance of the Cello Sonata, noble in manner and grand in scale, balances the austere grief of the opening movement with understated wit in the Sérénade ... Listen to it in a single sitting, and in the right playing order: it's extraordinarily moving".
