"An informed performance; acrobatic yet always lyrical, giving the music great strength and a chance to breathe . . . excellent job, showing a rich, lush tone, dark and chocolate -- just a beautiful sound . . . .  Ms. Dillingham and the Moscow Chamber Orchestra "The Seasons" produce amazing textures, achieving a taut, forward motion and excitement.  A sinewy, strong sound, yet with transparency.  The best of both worlds: a luscious cello sound contrasting with focused precision and a penetrating tone."  ~Gavin Borchert "The Beat" KUOW Seattle Public Radio
