Critics Choice: Best of 2020

Aquarelles brings together three world class musicians-  Bonita Boyd, Steven Doane and Barry Snyder, performing four classics from the flute, cello, and piano repertoire.  Bonita Boyd began her career with the Rochester Philharmonic under David Zinman, becoming the youngest principal flutist of a major American orchestra.  Steven Doane and Barry Snyder have recorded extensively for Bridge, their recordings receiving rave reviews and awards from journals in the USA and Europe.

Reviews:

“Each work is worthy of attention. But what makes this album desirable are the performances of these three friends.” - Charlottesville Classical

“These are beautifully poised performances. There is a lovely and idiomatic blend of sonority in the Aquarelles and Sonate en concert, the latter spotlighting the trio’s fine mutual understanding. A very nicely balanced programme.” - Gramophone

“For such a mixed bag of tricks, this new CD offers many gems.” - Performing Arts Monterey Bay

"It’s a disc well worth having both for the varied, textures, tones and forms and the fine, sympathetic readings provided by the artists." - JWR
