REVIEWS
“Another enduring staple of the repertoire, Rebecca Clarke’s dramatic Sonata for Viola and Piano, provides the springboard for La Viola (MSR Classics), a two-CD collection by Hillary Herndon featuring 20th-century viola pieces composed by women. Alongside pianist Wei-Chun Bernadette Lo, Herndon works her way through attractive obscurities by Minna Keal, Marcelle Soulage, Luise Adolpha Le Beau and others—all of it lent appeal by Herndon’s sweetly soaring tone.” - Steve Smith, TimeOut New York [March 2013]
"the quality of the compositions themselves, which is high... American violist Hillary Herndon and pianist Wei-Chun Bernadette Lo approach [the Clarke Sonata] with due appreciation of its stature. Theirs is a fine performance... This excellently chosen selection will make an obvious appeal to the collector.”
- Jonathan Woolf, MusicWeb International [July 2013]

REVIEWS
“The Waldland Ensemble gives intense and thoroughly committed performances, handling well the gamut of compositional ideas, from the immediate to the abstract and from the quiet to the thrilling. Lyrical lines are heartfelt; hushed passages whisper and weep; turbulent episodes are full of vigor and technical bravura; and furious outbursts are edgy and strident. Clarinetists and violists will have fresh ideas for recitals, and chamber music fans will find much to like.” - Hanudel, American Record Guide [May/June 2017]
“Clarinettist Jeremy Reynolds, viola player Hillary Herndon and pianist Wei-Chun Bernadette Lo are expert champions of repertoire they bring brilliantly to life.” - Donald Rosenberg, Gramophone [March 2017]
