Roxanna Panufnik - Composer (original) (raw)

“It (Coronation Sanctus) was a remarkable 4 minutes – confirmation that Panufnik is one of the most compelling choral composers of our time” Washington Post

“…her music owes nothing to modish fads. Again and again she has the courage of simple integrity, interweaving her very direct emotionality with elegant harmonies.” Wiener Zeitung (Vienna)

“… a gifted composer with a fast-growing reputation for heart, spunk and individuality …distinctive in voice, serious, bold and appealing.” Fiona Maddocks, The Observer

“Magnificent music… Panufnik’s art is something special, putting her among the elite composers in the world today.” Audiophile Audition

“Roxanna Panufnik’s Silver Birch embodies the power of music to transform lives and communicate a profound, universal message.” www.classicalsource.com

“…what a superb composer for choir she is. More than her deft handling of choral forces, it is Panufnik’s instinctive feel for those words which stands out here. I don’t think I will be alone after hearing this disc in begging for more of Roxanna Panufnik in the catalogue.” Gramophone (Editor’s Choice)
