The programme as a whole is a delight, the bar set by the Variations on a Theme of Rossini which Blecha-Wells, immaculately supported (as throughout) by Sun Min Kim, milks for all its humorous potential.

Gramophone Magazine

Blecha-Wells is technically dazzling in the Rossini variations, and the sweeping phrasing, passion and fine dynamic range together with a great balance with the piano continue throughout the disc. The final Variations on a Slovakian Theme provide an equally dazzling conclusion to an excellent CD.

The Whole Note

Throughout SMALL STORMS, the duo’s playing blends wonderfully, no matter a passage’s virtuosity or simplicity. It should come as no surprise that Martinů’s cello writing is highlighted in this recording – Blecha-Wells’ lyrical warmth and powerful athleticism triumphantly illustrate why the composer welcomed her instrument’s entire expressive continuum in his music.

Classical Music Discoveries

What makes the album so special is not just that Martinů’s music is so attractive and imaginative, though it is, nor that Meredith Blecha-Wells and Sun Min Kim are such excellent musicians, but that they’re having so much sheer fun with the music that it is infectious from the very first note and never lets up.

The Art Music Lounge

…the duo returns with passion and finesse, and which you can enjoy until the last second.

Kathodik

The album sees the pairing of Meredith Blecha-Wells (cello) and Sun Min Kim (piano) who compliment each other incredibly well.

Review Graveyard

...Blecha-Wells carries off with considerable skill. The interplay between cellist and pianist and their fine ensemble work are major attractions of this disc.
