“Sonora Slocum… plays all this music with obvious affection and considerable skill. Her warmth of tone for the slow movement of K285 is admirable…”
Misha Donat, BBC Music Magazine
“This album on modern instruments has playing so lively, vibrant, and splendid it could bring joy into even the rainiest, cloudiest day of any season in the year. I love to hear Sonora Slocum… This is now one of my top choices for these [quartets]”
Todd Gorman, American Record Guide
“As a flautist, Slocum is immaculate… her attack is delicate and matches the charm offensive coming from the strings...”
Simon Mundy, Present Arts
