vibrato focused with scarcely any breathiness provided the most

beautiful playing of the evening in Debussy’s Sonate en Trio.”

“Milan’s flute playing is a joy, her musicianship scintillating, matched by Ball’s sensitivity, and the sequence is engaging”

Paul Driver   (The Sunday Times)

“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.”
