Rondo, 16-1-2021
... Honing and Brederode concentrate on slow tempi, listen to their partner's sounds and sensitively influence the direction of the sound flow. Honing's breathy intonation reinforces the impression of tender intimacy. They don't need a trip into the realm of legend. Their dialogue fills the present with life.

Jazznu, 07-12-2020

Yuri Honing and Wolfert Brederode make music so beautiful that it hurts
Het Parool, 20-11-2020
