| “Jill Crossland well deserves her enviable reputation as a Bach pianist. She plays neatly with the kind of imaginative touches that leave the listener feeling newly aware of even the most familiar repertoire” – George Pratt (BBC Music Magazine) | |||
| “Definitely a player to watch… I have no doubts about her abilities: her fingerwork is polished, her sense of phrase beyond question. The singing quality of her playing encouraqges the listener to stay with her.” – Peter Lawson (MusicWeb) | |||
| “Crossland's view of Bach sounds fresh not because it's particularly novel but because it's somewhat old-fashioned (a good thing in this case). She stresses beauty of tone, spontaneous and sometimes romantic-style phrasing, and tenderness of expression. Let's hope that we have an opportunity to hear more from this gifted artist.” - American Record Guide | |||
