Reviews

Taking Flight - Music for Flute & Harp, 2010

Flutist Quarterly, Fall 2011

"This collection acts as a kind of historical snapshot of the development of the literature for flute and harp, highlighting charming Romantic character pieces as well as tonally very forward-thinking suites. If I make this list sound like the recording belongs boxed away with other academic curiosities, nothing could be further from the truth: These pieces, while intricate and well-developed by a musician’s standpoint, are also incredibly fun to listen to, and such a treat to discover. Rendered so beautifully by the Lyrebird Ensemble’s virtuosic, spirited playing, I am left wanting more and am thrilled by the possibility of learning more about the repertoire through their ears."

 

Gareth Farr, composer

"Your recording of Taheke is fantastic!! I really enjoyed listening to it, and I think you really did an amazing job of the piece...Well done - I appreciate the work that went into your CD."

 

Charles Rochester Young, composer

"Your performance is outstanding and your attention to detail is excellent.  Many thanks and congratulations on your fine recording!"
