Review: Antonin Dvorak: Works for Violin and Piano
Andrew L. Pincus, The New York Times (May 18, 1986)

The MHS Review 385, Vol. 11 No. 7, 1987
Mr. Phillips' repertoire is Dvorak--the Sonatina in G, op. 100, and a selection of shorter works. The violinist approaches the heartfelt romanticism with a certain reserve, as if afraid of wallowing in it. Yet his amber tone and mellifluous touch illuminate Dvorak's melodies. The Sonatina, performed with respect for its essential simplicity, is especially winning. Charles Abramovic provides sensitive accompaniments.
