"...if you like her sound as much as I do, you will want to listen to ...Elizabeth's recent recording of Telemann Fantasias... over and over again". BRTISH FLUTE SOCIETY Journal - PAN
"She plays Telemann's unique unaccompanied Fantasias
on modern flute (Seeley, 1960s) but with every regard to 18 C practice;
intimate tone, varied articulation, sparing vibrato and ornamentation,
notably in No 9.
Compelling listening." Peter Woolf in 'Musical Pointers'
