Bach Home Page. --(Jan Hanford)McCarty captures unerringly the various dance styles and  different tonalities...shines triumphantly...a tour de force. (a "Strad Selection" disc) --The Strad, November 2000McCarty sculpts Bach's forms with the fine, blue-flamed torch of her mind...may be likened to Arthur Grumiaux. --Ottawa Citizen, August 5, 2001McCarty's viola versions are beautifully played and recorded.  --American Record Guide, Nov/Dec 2000Patricia McCarty must be applauded for her achievement.
