review extracts: for full reviews click here
" [Crossland's] overall approach to these works might be described as 'classically inclined', with clear definition of inner parts and exemplary articulation of melodic lines. Altogether, this is a recital that engages the listener's attention and is played with evident and commendable integrity." - Timothy Ball (Classical Source)
“A highly individual player, thoughtful yet compelling, she has the gift of spontaneity in the recording studio, to carry the personal insights of her interpretations, as at a live performance. She is very well recorded.” – Ivan March (Penguin Guide to Compact Discs)
“ [Crossland] chooses a modern Steinway for this recording. Still she shows much of the thoughtful concern over details the "learned" school values so highly. I found myself praising the pianist's sincerity and attention to detail." - (American Record Guide)
