Digital Booklet

|||||
"Four Stars ... Beynon’s expressive playing is showcased ... high points are Dove’s witty flautistic fantasy on melodies from The Magic Flute and Berkeley’s scintillating orchestration of Poulenc’s Flute Sonata."
- BBC Music Magazine
"... the real draw here is the astonishingly pure and effortless sonority Emily Benyon draws from her instrument ... all is fluid and beautifully balanced, with fine recorded sound and good accompaniments from Bramwell Tovey."
- Fanfare
