Description
It is in the four-movement Sonatina that Annette Kruisbrink’s compositional skills really come to the fore. Crammed with contrasting thematic ideas, this elaborate yet wholly accessible work emerges as a collection of most rewarding contemporary master-pieces for this unusual and under-exploited combination. Sonatina is very much a partnership of equals, the guitar frequently providing the harmonic backdrop to an intricate and virtuosic bass-line. Both players turn in a performance of the highest order, the sense of unity between the instruments showing not the slightest blemish. (Paul Fowles, Classical Guitar, 1995)
