"Den danske violinist og komponist Fini Henriques (1867-1940) var (...) en fremragende violinist, men (...) den store form, symfonien eller operaen, lå ikke helt naturlig for ham, tværtimod var han miniaturens mester ... Hans evner i så henseende manifesterer sig med al tydelighed på en ny cd fra Dacapo, hvor to af vore mest fremtrædende musikere, violinisten Johannes Søe Hansen og pianisten Christina Bjørkøe, spiller en række af hans mest fængslende korte kompositioner ... Søe Hansen og Bjørkøe får det maksimale ud af Henriques' minimalisme, og også i betragtning af en samlet varighed på 77 minutter bliver der tale om et ganske fyldigt portræt af en dansk komponist, der i sin tid fyldte godt i det musikalske landskab herhjemme, og som stadig vil have en stærk appel til mange lyttere"

"Dacapo has released two handsome-looking discs devoted to the music of Fini Henriques ... As an executant-composer he was perfectly placed to write small violin pieces ... The programme isn't chronological. Indeed, we plunge straight into his 1919 Romance, a Danish Salut d'amour if ever there was one ... And there is his most famous piece, the Wiegenlied of 1915, a lovely little lullaby that he recorded. Listening to Johannes Søe Hansen's fine performance one can't help but recall the composer's own virtues as a purveyor of expressive portamenti and, with his slower vibrato, a fine variety of colour ... No, Henriques's little pieces aren't going to set the world on fire but their modest aims and unpretentious warmth, allied to an engaging sense of character, should provide nearly 80 minutes of fun and sentiment"
