Awards and reviews

January 2012

Croshaw is a first-rate artist, as her musical characterisation fully demonstrates, and is perfectly balanced in the First Cello Sonata with her partner Christina Shillito, who favours a comparatively restrained lyricism...Excellent recording throughout ensures that altogether this is a morerewarding duet-recital.

November 2011

Her nuanced, revelatory pianism seems almost outside of time in its understated eloquence, and in a way the chosen repertoire is perfectly suited. Her artless poetry at the keyboard is evident in Saint-Saëns' retro, and magical, Piano Suite...Her athletic legerdemain...seems undiminished...[in] the Allegro Appassionato op.70

Musical Opinion May/June 2011

she is clearly a most gifted pianist and a fine interpreter of this composer's music; she is a splendid partner for the gifted Christina Shillito in the two works for cello and piano by Saint-Saens, and all in all, this is a most invigorating issue, very well recorded, which I commend highly.
