CD Reviews

WOW!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Bonita Boyd is unbelievable. Her artistry is so real and so spiritual that it speaks to anyone. Mo matter what she is playing, she plays the flute like she is a virtuosic singer. I have sat with many violinists while listening to this CD and they are in complete shock with what she can do on the flute with these violin caprices. I absolutely love this cd and this artist. This is a gem and a must have."
Terrific showcase of a great performer and teacher

"As a flutist who has spent four summers studying with Bonita Boyd, I can honestly say this CD demonstrates all facets of Ms. Boyd's incredible flutistic abilities. Her technique is second to none, clean and dead-eye accurate. It's no wonder that other reviews have noted Ms. Boyd as "a technical wizard." Paganini also gives Ms. Boyd to show her command of sound, color, charm, and creativity in lyrical passages that sharply contrast Paginini's more technical feats.
What is perhaps most striking about Ms. Boyd's playing is her articulation. It is the characteristic about her playing that I wish to emulate the most in my own playing. Her luscious, singing tone is never sacrificed in flying, double-tonguing passages. Ms. Boyd's articulation always gives further life to her already imaginative phrasing and expression; she leaves no phrase peak or musical highlight is left in the dust.
I find this recording to be a must for any classical music library. Flutists and non-flutists alike will be dazzled and inspired by Ms. Boyd's technical and artistic mastery."
