The Critics Say: AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE "Flutist Laurel Ann Maurer...has an interest in contemporary music and has commissioned many pieces for the flute...(She) choose(s) repertoire that shows her strengths: lean energy, crisp technique and a brassy sound...(The pianists) add breadth and balance Maurer's energy by grounding the architecture of each piece. I can sense that Maurer cares about these pieces and they really are a good match for her. This recital has a nice flow, and her Manookian and Wyner and fine first recordings." | |||

The Critics Say: FLUTE TALK "Balance, ensemble and intonation are excellent throughout, and some of the selections are charming, particularly the Suite by Wilder and the work by Kraft, which occassionally has shades of ragtime." AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE "I like her playing ... she is aggressive and dynamic ... Flutists should pick this up, because these are excellent compositions and well played." GRAMOPHONE "an intriguing, flute-centric disc... Flutist Laurel Ann Maurer, who takes the lioness' share of work in this programme, has a solid technique herself and surrounds herself with some able collaborators..." | |||

The Critics Say: FLUTE TALK ""Highly recommended...The Kupferman work is harmonically lush, virtuosic and beautifully performed. (Dana Paul Perna's) Three Conversations Between Two Flutists is a demanding duet, well performed here by Maurer and (Suzanne) Duffy; their tones, vibratos and articulation lengths match so well that the result could have been that of overdubbing by one player." CLASSICAL CD REVIEWS "This is an adventurous and wide-ranging survey of works that owe their genesis to the very able soloist and are played by her with great finesse."
