Awards and reviews

August 2010

The young British clarinettist Sarah Williamson, making her debut on disc, finds appropriate colours for both [works], and makes light of their technical demands...David Curtis's Midlands-based Orchestra of the Swan provides reliable support.

June 2010

Williamson is infectious in the jazzy passages in the lively finale [of the Copland]...In the cadenza-like passages in both concertos Williamson is wonderfully persuasive, giving the impression of improvising the music, and the Allegro giocoso finale is a delight.
