"Ein Konzeptalbum: 'The Cello in Wartime' - womit der Erste Weltkrieg gemeint ist ... Isserlis spielt wie erwartet durchgehend hochexpressiv, souverän in technischer Hinsicht, immer - auch in den intim leisen Passagen - unter Hochdruck. Connie Shih bildet den nüchterneren Gegenpart, auch sie technisch makellos"

The gramophone, 2017 December
"There's a viola-like reticence to its "the trench cello" sound that gives an affecting sweetness to Isserlis and Shih's performances of miniatures ... But Isserlis is back on his Strad for the four main works ... These are passionate, red-blooded performances - the Debussy, in particular, is a thing of rich oils and dark charcoal ... An imaginative and superbly realised disc"
Fono Forum, 2018 Mai
"Was magt der Krieg mit der Musik, und was macht die Musik im Krieg? Das Ergebnis: die CD "The Cello in Wartime" ... Isserlis spielt vier Stücke auf einem Cello, das selbst im Ersten Weltkrieg war: ein Reisecello ... Isserlis bringt eine erstaunlich prachtvolle Klangpoesie aus dem zweckmässigen Instrument hervor ... Die Cellosonaten von Debussy, Bridge und Fauré sowie Weberns drei kleine Stücke spielt Isserlis hingegen auf seinem gewohnte Stradivari-Cello ... empathisch und mit tiefer Melancholie"
Opus, 2017, nr. 79
"Det har kommit en rad skivor som anknyter till hundraårsminnet av första världskriget. Men få är lika konkreta i sin skildring av krigsmusicerandets villkor som den brittiske cellisten Steven Isserlis. Albumet "The cello in wartime" är delvis inspelat på en hopfällbar så kallad "semestercello" som fick följa med en soldat och amatörcellist ... till fronten ... Isserlis och den kanadensiska pianisten Connie Shih tar inkännande kommandot över samtliga"
MusicWeb international, 2017 December
"Steven Isserlis's focused single disc works on two fronts; major sonatas composed during the war and an appendix of light pieces performed on a so-called 'trench cello' - which is more accurately, if perhaps more prosaically, described as a pre-war holiday cello' ... Isserlis is joined by Canadian pianist Connie Shih whose imaginative, never-subservient contribution is notable throughout ... Isserlis's lyric expressivity is admirable, and he varies his tone colour, bow weight and phrasing with great sensitivity"

"Chamber choice: If IKEA were to make a cello, this would be it. Built by WH Hill around 1900, the quaint trench cello played here packs up into what could be an ammunition box ... to the trenches in World War I ... So how does it sound? In Steven Isserlis's hands, remarkably fine - though he only uses it for a handful of evocative miniatures ... Crowning all this is perhaps the finest recording of Fauré's First Sonata I have ever heard ... an outpouring of effervescent joy"
