H.C. Robbins Landon, reviewing Harnoy's recording of Haydn cello concertos (Fanfare DFL-6001), wrote 'she has approached these war-horses with fresh vision, a superb technique and flawless instinctive musicianship - not to overlook her excellent intonation.

 DOREMI's Jacob Harnoy Resurrects Classic Performances
Harnoy's interest in audio restoration dates from the mid-1980s, when he got fed up with the poor quality of commercially available CD transfers of his favourite old 78 and LP recordings.
Harnoy devoted a year to developing digital restoration components and to experimenting with noise reduction software such as CEDAR and Sonic Solution's No-Noise, during which time he and his technician Harry Quan designed a custom analog-to-digital converter.
Harnoy emphasizes that the recording technology back in the 1930s and 1940s, including microphones, was "more advanced than we tend to think today." Harnoy is often surprised by the richness of the original sound after the surface noise has been removed.

Ofra Harnoy's soaring sonority swoops on the calm wings of the cello.
Harnoy performs Corelli, Mozart and Bruch in exactly the same style, with little consideration for the somewhat different playing practices employed by each composer.
