REVIEWS

”Yu-Wei Hu makes her flute sing in the aria-like movements…and her rippling ornamentations flow effortlessly…. It’s great to hear this delightful music receiving such strong and dedicated performances from Flauguissimo and friends….” 

- Nick Boston, Nick’s Classical Notes, 2023


“Perfect…” 

- Andrew Connal, The Latest, 2023


“…performed with sensitivity, grace and charm.”

- Andy Tylor, Lynn News, 2023


“Emily Atkinson, who has a lovely voice, and delivers stylish performances, with some fine ornamentation. The instrumental parts also receive splendid performances. Yu-Wei Hu’s play is differentiated, dynamically as well as in colour and tempo…. Löfving’s realisation of the bass part is spot-on…. a perfect case for a relatively little-known master.” 

- Johan Van Veen, Music Web International, 2023
