"But the real stars are the musicians: Ms. Wolf, Mr. Barros, the cellist Andrew Janss and the violinist Victoria Wolf Lewis, playing rapturous accounts of Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff and Shostakovich.

The New York Times
"And it was remarkable that Soviet artists were able to create such enduring works of art: and the best moments occur when Wolf and fellow musicians—fellow pianist Max Barros, violinist Victoria Wolf Lewis and cellist Andrew Janss—play works by Prokofiev, Shostakovich and Sergei Rachmaninov, briefly transporting her (and us) to a place away from the gulags and secret police, however much that reality informed their very creativity."
