"… It’s fascinating to hear Emma’s approach to this repertoire."

Northern Echo

"This collection of two dozen 'lollipops' provides a showcase for Emma Johnson's cultured style and impeccable technique."

Gramophone Magazine

Performance *** Recording ****

"This collection of two dozen lollypops provides a showcase for Emma Johnson’s cultured style and impeccable technique. On six of the tracks she is joined by the Carducci Quartet; they contribute idiomatic string effects to fast an light accounts of Piazzolla’s Libertango and accompany a reflective reading of Rachmaninov’s Vocalise … On six more she is accompanied by the excellent John Lenehan; these items include some genuine clarinet and piano repertoire such as William Lloyd Webber’s pretty Frensham Pond and some new arrangements such as a successful make over of a Chopin Nocturne. The other dozen tracks are played by the trio of Johnson, Lenehan and the drummer Paul Clarvis. The percussion adds some unnecessary punctuation to Debussy’s Golliwog’s Cakewalk, but lends momentum to Alec Templeton’s jazzy fugue Bach Goes to town."
