Reviews of Katrina’s performances
The graceful English flautist Katrina Penman is a soloist of great warmth and sensitivity; she possesses a special sound: precise in the fast passages thanks to a noteworthy technique, and lyrical in the melodic ones. Full and dynamic, brilliant and open in the Allegro movements, relaxed and singing in the Adagio and Largo. She demonstrated today her technical gifts, her taste and intelligent sensitivity.
