BACH:  Sonatas for Solo Violin

Con Brio Recordings
"Greening-Valenzuela has more courage and imagination than the average (or above-average) modern-day virtuoso.  Let that be a lesson to you others!"
--  American Record Guide 

 

"Greening-Valenzuela plays expressively throughout, and his technical resources are impressive.  From the opening bars of the G Minor Sonata we are clearly in for a thrilling time."

--  International Music Web, United Kingdom

FAURE:  Sonata in A Major, Op. 13

BRAHMS:  Sonata in A Major, Op. 100

with Madeleine DeMory Hsu, pianist

Con Brio Recordings

"Greening-Valenzuela is another of the contemporary elite among musicians who have raised the everyday standard of performance to what an earlier generation was capable of only occasionally.  He has a good sense of the drama of a phrase.  And for those who care about virtuoso technique, he has plently of that, too.

--  Solares Hill News, Key West

 

"A terrific CD...  a very sensitive performance with passages that provide a most pleasant listening experience."

ERNST BACON:  Sonata for Violin and Piano

(World Premiere Recording)
DAVID DIAMOND:  Chaconne
with John Walker, pianist
Con Brio Recordings

"This is a performance of potency and passion."
--  The Strad
 

"This Violin Sonata is a thoroughly confident affair, given here in a most committed performance by Greening-Valenzuela and Walker.  The violinist has an expressive, but not distracting, vibrato and a strong sense of line that suits this music perfectly. In addition, Greening-Valenzuela’s sweet top register is well-captured in the first movement...  the Chaconne (Diamond) is quite a remarkable work…  Greening-Valenzuela suavely characterises the variations."
