Reviews:
“Phelps displays complete mastery...It is an impressive recital, well recorded.” The Strad

“The viola repertoire would be much the poorer without these marvelously imaginative pieces and this fine violist does them full justice. By any reckoning Phelps is a most persuasive interpreter.” Mary Nemet, AUSTA magazine
