Summary:

“The quality of the music is consistently high throughout. All these pieces are played with ample beautiful tone and assured technique; Charles Abramovic is an accomplished, sympathetic partner; the recording is very clean. Flute recitals don’t come much more absorbing”. – Michael Oliver, Gramophone February 2003
