"Grieg's most substantial contribution to chamber music are the three Violin Sonatas. He is said to have been proud them ... Pianist Emil Gryesten's comprehensive liner notes are a great introduction to Grieg's three violin sonatas. He examines each work's background and supplies a readable technical analysis ... The key to a satisfactory performance of Grieg's Violin Sonatas is an ability to synthesise the folk music passages with the broader elements of romantic musical language. There also needs to be a well-judged balance between confidence, simplicity and a sense of Nordic tragedy in each sonata's progress. I believe that these artists step up to the plate. I did not know the Sonatas well, but the recital has opened my eyes to these splendid pieces"

"Damgaard og Gryesten har kendt hinanden side deres konservatorietid, og samspillet er overbevisende og indforstået. Optagelsen, der er foretaget på Hjørring Gymnasium i begyndelsen af 2023, står klart, og der er i det hele taget tale om en prisværdig udgivelse: skøn kammermusik i en vital fremførelse"
