“There’s a cool air to quite a few works here... Susan Milan proves a first class, characterful and unimpeachable guide. Andrew Ball offers staunch and imaginative support” - Jonathan Woolf (MusicWeb)

“Susan Milan is an influential exponent of the modern flute. Her playing has a unique voice within the flute world... Milan’s playing is expertly accompanied by pianist Andrew Ball. This is an excellent collection of new British repertoire, which gives the works well-deserved exposure. Milan plays with a strong tone and a sense of conviction as well as impressive technical control. Andrew Ball’s piano playing is excellent throughout.” - Carla Rees (MusicWeb)

“Miss Milan has the full measure of the expressive and technical demands of these works, and is to be thanked for giving us a stimulating recital which will ,it is to be hoped, encourage other players to seek out and champion British music of this quality” - Christopher Steward (Pan - the Flute Magazine)

“This recital could hardly be bettered... one can hardly imagine any [of the pieces] being better performed. Sparkling performances... excellent recorded sound.” - Martin Anderson (International Record Review)
