“Playing so ravishing that I need… to find new superlatives. Simply beautiful… greatest virtuosity… terrific performance” - Robert Bigio (Pan, The Flute Magazine)
“A special feel for sonorous beauty…absolutely ravishing… always very expressive and adapting to the different colours of the pieces, in perfect taste and without any excess: this disc is a true enchantment!” – Marcel Louis (Pizzicato)
