“British-American clarinettist Jean Johnson is nothing short of phenomenal.”
Fanfare Magazine
“Brings out the expressive character of every phrase…exceptional leggiero playing…beautifully paced…style and spirit.”
Gramophone Magazine
“sense of freedom and flair…. Bounding with energy and purposeful intent”
The Scotsman Newspaper, Edinburgh
“…fine recording by the poised clarinetist Jean Johnson. Beautiful renditions of Brahms’s Clarinet Sonatas Nos. 1 and 2 round out this lovely album.”
The New York Times
“Her chastity and implied sensuality comes forth strongly in the ensuing A-flat Major Andante…Johnson’s playing strikes me as particularly seamless as well as piquant.”
Audiophile Audition
“Johnson plays with a personal intensity buttressed by selective use of vibrato. …easily communicates the late-autumn intimate sensibility.”
