Awards and reviews

March 2015

Rochat makes the most of the instrument's capabilities by showing what interpretative touches are possible when not limited by a vocalist's breath control. In many ways, this is Baroque performance practice with some extravagant slides and an irreverent attitude...The warmth and specificity of expression in this disc are such that nobody's winter should be without it.
