REVIEWS
"For sheer beauty of sound alone the memory
of Ann Cherry’s flute playing will linger long in the
mind and it will be a pleasure to recall last night’s
recital, a most attractive programme of 20th-century works
tending towards the pastoral and lyrical. Fluid and
expressive, her tone is clean and pure, ideally suited to the
supple phrases and gentle eddying of the Lennox Berkeley Sonatina."
Daily Telegraph, London
"The sumptuous tone of Miss Cherry’s fleet flute was a joy."
Telegraph, Belfast
"particularly impressive thanks to the ideal co-operation of technique and sensitivity which characterised Ann Cherry’s performance. A multitude of very fine sounds were brought into a beautiful shape of excellent plasticity and strength."
Vima, Athens
"Ann Cherry’s voluptuously varied tone, flexible agility and skill in disguising the need to draw breath worked wonders for Messiaen, Dutilleux, Poulenc and their English cousin Lennox Berkeley."
Times, London
"The American Ann Cherry has a beautiful sound, a keen stylistic sense and a distinctly musical temperament."
La Nazione, Siena
"…rich and highly controlled tone which never faltered, even in the loudest and extremely high phrases."
Herald, Glasgow
"She is a player of such unerring musicality and technical command as to charm anyone; her perfect sustaining of tone and lovely modifications of it, sumptuously projected bottom notes, immaculate register crossings and numerous frissons of tonguing coax one into a fresh love for the instrument."
Daily Telegraph, London
"Her purity of tone, technical facility and
poised style are impressive."
Music Teacher
"The Poulenc is played sunnily and with an element of jocularity. Miss Cherry has a supple, rich tone and a sure technique which is best displayed in the Lutyens work. Here flutter-tonguing, strong breath control and fluid phrasing combine."

The French Influence
"…there is a short but fascinating biography of each composer by the editor, Ann Cherry. No distracting editorial interpretations have been added, and the whole is attractively wrapped…"

Bach: Sonata for Three Flutes, arr. by Ann Cherry
"The transposition into the key of C minor makes it possible for the whole range of the flute to be used, and the arrangement has been done with enormous care, interweaving the lines so that each part is of equal interest."
