Sounds Like: About Barbara Lüneburg's CD "The Refined Ear" with works by Sciarrino, Stahnke and Haas for viola and violin solo:Tempo Magazine , January 2007, Evan Johnson
"These disparate creations are held together by Barbara Lüneburg's forceful approach to her instrument, an aggressive passion that seethes beneath lyrical surfaces, waiting to emerge with teeth bared.""Lüneburg manages [...aus freier Lust... verbunden...] magnificently; each expressive fade or frustrated swell engenders the following pause as a necessary corrective, and the piece is continually saved from disintegration.""[de terrae fine] is one of the best pieces for violin of the new century, and Lüneburg's gripping performance is reason enough to recommend this disc on its own.""The classic here is Sciarrino's 1976 Sei capricci for violin. Lüneburg takes a ferocious approach to these studies in stifled lyricism, emphasizing the disjunction between the physical effort these pieces require and the elusive results. The vicious athleticism of this performance makes palpable a tension in Sciarrino's work that recordings usually fail to capture.""After this evocation of manic imaginary folk music concludes the disc, though, it is the faultless drama of de terrae fine that sticks in the mind, and Lüneburg's biting, passionate performance that makes it stay there."
