Retenez bien ce nom,Larissa Groeneveld,il s'agit d'une jeune violoncelliste,à le beauté tendrement impérieuse. Cette merveilleuse artiste, a été incomparable de tenue de puissance intérieure,de tension magnifiquement contròlée, avec un sens inné de la vraie poésie.

Le Figaro Mit überbordender Musikalität und einer kompromißlosen Tongebung vermag sie aber auch Kantilenen warm aufblühen zu lassen. Souverän löst sie sich vom Notentext und drückt dem Werk einen eigenen gestalterischen Stempel auf.Stuttgarter Nachricht

It was here that Ms. Groeneveld's sonorous tone and firm phrasing was to be felt,and she was impressive again sounding the lament theme, making the odd intervals right and forceful.The New York Times

"Overrompelende ode aan de cello...Delicatesse eerste klas. Larissa ontpopte zich als een tovenaarsleerling in haar briljante vertolking van Britten's Solosuite opus 72..."Eindhovens Dagblad

"Larissa speelde dit werk echt adembenemend. Er zijn weinig concerten waarin het publiek zo stil is. De spanning die ze wist op te bouwen en de diversiteit aan klanken die aan haar instrument wist te onttrekken is in één woord weergaloos te noemen..." Noord-Hollands Dagblad
