The Strad reviews Milan Milisavljević’s Sonata-Song recording in their October 2017 issue:
“This most recommendable recital by Serbian-born Milan Milisavljević, assistant principal viola at New York’s Metropolitan Opera, is named after Khachaturian’s valedictory piece from 1976. Echoes of Armenian folk song mix intriguingly with neo-Classical passages and recitative-like sections in this one-movement work that here receives a definitive performance. Milisavljević relishes the technical challenges with no compromise in tonal quality, and carefully realises the implied two-part writing through astute fingering choices. … beautifully realised and welded together into an impressive whole. … I have nothing but praise for his tonally most alluring renditions of the shorter pieces that complete this vividly recorded CD.”
