'Violin Conversations showcases the extraordinary range of works leading composers have written for Mitchell...My own favourite alongside Rawsthorne Sonata is Mist Waves by Cincinatti-based composer Douglas Knehans, it’s vastly slow, gentle unfolding sustained with unflagging concentration by Mitchell…a recording of subtle charm which shows just how approachable contemporary music has become'

Ivan Hewett, The Telegraph

‘Whether as soloist or chamber musician, the British violinist Madeleine Mitchell has expanded the frontiers of music for her chosen instrument, through playing unfamiliar works and commissioning new ones. Her wide-ranging album Violin Conversations (Naxos) draws on recordings from 1996 to 2022 and features 10 composers, all born in the 20th century…Knehans’ seductive ‘Mist Waves’(2019)…a fresh and challenging recital, beautifully played.”
