“There was the heavy-footed elephant, the chattering hens and the ponderous tortoise, all vividly portrayed.”
On the solo-piano Carnival programme in recital at St Peter's Church, Marlborough.
-
“Not only did we learn so much about the pieces, but we were enveloped in her infectious enthusiasm.”
On the introductions that frame the recital programme.
-
“In just forty five minutes An-Ting deftly presented animals that fly, animals that swim, and highly entertaining pet cats and dogs, with time left for her own arrangement of Camille Saint-Saëns’ “Le Carnival Des Animaux”.”
On the same programme in recital at Glenorchy Church, Exmouth — the arrangement the album records.
