Valcic’s versatility and the connected search for new means of expression led her to the “radio.string.quartet.vienna” and through the co-operative project Radiotree (ACT 9473-2) to the accordionist Klaus Paier. À Deux (ACT 9478-2) shows that this path has led to the perfect duo. Seldom has one instrument so perfectly complemented the form and style of the other. Valcic plays the cello with such flexibility and fury that she sometimes sounds like a complete string quartet, at times with elegant lines, sometimes extremely rhythmically, at times plucked or struck, sometimes simply utilised as a percussion instrument.

"They attack their instruments with such brio and verve that they fill a chamber jazz formula with raw emotion and rhythmic pulse."
