| Bill Newman | See Review of Wigmore Hall Concert 1st April 2005 |
| The Herald, Harare | "In Prokofiev's D major
Sonata, Susan Milan charmed in the sauntering opening movement, flew with
apparent ease through the presto and responded with unfailing rightness to
the many moods of this fascinating work" |
| Musical Opinion | "This is as fine a display of
flute playing as you are likely to come across in a hundred years. Milan
at the top of her form is irresistable. It is glorious, and Ian Brown's
perceptive musicianship and lovely tone contributes its own quality to
this exceptionally fine disc" |
| Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung | "The musical language of the English flautist Susan Milan sounds poetic, colourful and virtuoso" |
| Financial Times, London | "Susan Milan's exuberant
delivery did the technical demands of the latter works full justice" |
| Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten, Denmark | "The British flautist Susan
Milan played Carl Nielsen's Flute Concerto with a refreshing poet-lyrical
beauty. One seldom hears this concerto played so beautifully" |
| Pretoria News | "In the Gaubert she played the
melodies with sensuous and tender caress which insinuated themselves in
the memory" "Her performance of the Honegger solo was quite stunning but when she opted for virtuosity she seemed blithely unconcerned with sheer display" |
| Potsdamer Neueste Nachtrichten | "Once Solo Flautist of the
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Professor of the Royal College of Music,
Susan Milan has a deep understanding of style with good taste and
expression" |
| The Times, London | "And Susan Milan's live contours, vivid contrasts of register and vibrato focused with scarcely any breathiness, provided the most beautiful playing of the evening in Debussy's Sonate en trio" |
