CLARE LONGENDYKE
PRESS
“Masterful… she fully captured the atmospheric quality of the music in a performance of great virtuosity and delicacy.”
— M. L. Rantala, Hyde Park Herald
“Clare Longendyke is an exceptional musician, but she's also a conceptualist of originality and imagination, something borne out wonderfully by her solo piano debut album …of dreams unveiled.”
— Rob Schepper, Textura
“[Clare Longendyke] attacked the keyboard with an artistic ferocity that captivated and astonished listeners. [She] demonstrated perfect control, sometimes bending in so closely to her instrument one wondered whether her body might not simply merge with the keyboard.”
— Mike Sherer, Waverly Newspapers
"The [album] is a work of remarkable pianistic invention. For one thing few other piano recordings contain so many unique features of Impressionism – and particularly Debussy’s genius. For instance, few pianists in recent memory play Debussy – and consequently the music of [Amy] Williams and [Anthony R.] Green – with such wondrous ease in conveying both profundity and levity. Moreover, with her sheer mastery of the dynamics of the keyboard, combined with the nuances of pedalling, Longendyke brings to the fore the most important aspect of this repertoire: its intimacy.
— Raul da Gama, The WholeNote
