| “I can’t think of a single modern player who makes a sound to rival the amber-toned, oak-aged ravishing tone that radiates from Celia Redgate’s flute. Redgate and Dussek play with supreme naturalness; mellifluous tone and impeccable technique… effortless phrasing and enchanting musical presence. Glowingly recorded and played with exemplary taste and skill, this is one of the most distinguished flute discs to have come my way in a long time.” – Julian Haylock (International Record Review) | |||
| “The high points of the CD are for me [the works by Bowen and Redgate]. Michael Dussek is a first-rate accompanist. The message of this CD is that simple is beautiful. Don’t just take my word for it, buy the disc” – Richard Stagg (Pan Magazine) | |||
| “Among a variety of good things there is German’s Suite for Flute & Piano. The Suite is an attractive piece of ‘quintessentially English‘ music. In fact the middle movement, the "Souvenir", is a perfect miniature that well balances sentimentality with retrospection.” – John France (Land of Lost Content) | |||
| “Presented in a proper English fashion…high toned listening throughout. It almost transports you to a drawing room in another time and place.” – Chris Spector (Midwest Record, USA) | |||
