“… The new release contains three important examples of British chamber music, and the lighter works are all well written and enjoyable. Performances are stunning.”

Phillip Scott – Fanfare – January/February 2024

Sound 9.5 Booklet 9.5 Repertoire 6-8 Interpretation 10

“…Captured with a certain distance which does not steal the spotlight from the soloist, Huw Watkins' Steinway admirably supports his partner. The airy acoustics of the Wyastone Concert Hall and a remarkably balanced and transparent sound recording contribute to the charm of listening.”

Christophe Steyne – Crescendo magazine.be – 9 October 2023

Performance **** Recording ****

“… a new pleasure is never far away in the most accomplished recital, full of the sounds of spring.”

Geoff Brown – BBC Music magazine – July 2023

“… This is a very fine, well played and well recorded recital of unusual British repertoire… all the music is attractive … A typically fine Chandos presentation that British music enthusiasts will be delighted to hear.”

Nick Barnard – Musiwebinternational.com – 30 May 2023

“…Mr Walker’s many changes of colour paired with his extraordinary breath control make the Romance something to which to return… The gem on the disc is the Sonatina by Lennox Berkeley… It only lasts for ten minutes but each of its three movements are polished jewels of musical craft…”

Paul R W Jackson – British Music Society.co.uk – 19 May 2023

“… Walker’s flute, which always sounds as if it is floating, does full justice to the charm or sensuality of the pieces and makes for an enchanting program.” ****

Remy Franck – Pizzicato.lu – 7 May 2023
