“The same can be said of the entire recital, one of the bright lights of recent releases.” …

” The original performers were Peter Pears and Julian Bream, so it’s a nice touch on the present CD that Teicholz plays a guitar built for Bream, one he describes as especially dulcet. In fact, that’s a good adjective for Teicholz’s playing throughout.” …

“Teicholz’s sweet-toned and refined accompaniments are a graceful foil to the soprano’s beautiful singing. The same holds true in Four French Folk Songs by the Hungarian-born composer Mátyás György Seiber (after fleeing Hitler, he spent most of his creative career in Britain). ” …

“The age of soprano multi-tasking is upon us. The same is true for her accompanist, since besides being a performer and teacher of guitar, Teicholz has a law degree from Berkeley—he follows in the footsteps of non-practicing law students Henri Matisse, John Cleese, Andrea Bocelli, and Igor Stravinsky.”
