“searingly gorgeous instrumental music...An incandescent presence, Brown deploys her invention, and the particular qualities of the traverse flute - its sensitivity to touch and breath, its audible woodiness, its luminous colour - to create a music wholly her own…it is difficult to be prepared for how Brown keeps deepening its expression”.
Berta Joncus, BBC Music Magazine*****
“artistically superb, a rare and original concept brought to an admirable conclusion”
Robert Matthew Walker, Musical Opinion*****
“Not just the imaginative programme, but the sense that the performers are having real fun…that sense of engagement, exploration and discovery…along with a wonderful sense of style”.
Robert Hugill, Planet Hugill
“beguiling results…lovingly played…a radiant utterance beaming with joy, the melody literally bouncing along weightlessly”
Göran Forsling, Music Web International
