Album of the Week (24 December 2023) – ABC Classic Radio

“Intoxicatingly beautiful … The phrasing and articulation are meticulously poised and delivered in a beautifully natural way” ★★★★ 1/2 – The Australian

“music of allure and varied moods, played with tremendous skill tempered with tenderness … music of transcendent beauty, performed with finesse and technical expertise, by two performers who possess gilt-edged credentials.” – Sounds Like Sydney

“I would highly recommend this CD for relaxing listening in the evening before bed, notwithstanding appreciation of the great technical ability of both musicians.” – ClassikON

“Everything here, from whatever era, receives a first-rate, sensitive, beautifully blended performance.” – Trancentury

“an album that operates at several levels: it can be listened to intently for the sheer finesse and accomplishment, or played in the background while you do something else.  Either way, it’s a joy” – Music Trust

American-Australian harpist Emily Granger made an indelible impression with her solo debut recording, In Transit. She follows up with Something Like This, a beautiful collaboration with flautist Sally Walker, featuring original music for flute and harp alongside adaptations and arrangements for the instrumental combination. Woven among classics by J.S. Bach and Mozart are works by living composers including Australians Elena Kats-Chernin, Sally Greenaway, Lachlan Skipworth and Jessica Wells, and indigenous composer Christopher Sainsbury. 20th century works by Jacques Ibert and Witold Lutoslawski are juxtaposed with Erik Satie’s timeless Gymnopédies.
