Sarah Williamson was a finalist in the BBC Young Musician competition in 2002 and gave a highly individual performance of the Copland Clarinet Concerto. She recently made her Cadogan Hall debut performing the same work and received fantastic reviews. ‘A superb player’ Michael Church.

BBC Music Magazine

August 2010

***

“The young British clarinettist Sarah Williamson, making her debut on disc, finds appropriate colours for both [works], and makes light of their technical demands...David Curtis's Midlands-based Orchestra of the Swan provides reliable support.”

Gramophone Magazine

June 2010

“Williamson is infectious in the jazzy passages in the lively finale [of the Copland]...In the cadenza-like passages in both concertos Williamson is wonderfully persuasive, giving the impression of improvising the music, and the Allegro giocoso finale is a delight.”
