A TRIBUTE TO BACH:
BACH SONATAS & ARIAS
with Laurence Cummings, harpsichord, the London Handel Players and singers Elizabeth Cragg, Charles Daniels and Peter Harvey.
"So beautiful...If you want a flautist's guide to Bach, I don't think it comes much better than this".
Record Review, BBC Radio 3, 2nd April, 2016
"the range of tone colours conjured up by a mere wind instrument…was amazing…In fact, the Sarabande alone was so bewitchingly improvisatory that, the first time I heard it, I had to listen to it three times. Such effortlessly organic ornamentation, the sense at times mournful, at times utterly spiritual, and all from a single flute!"
