|
"A
brilliant but iconoclastic Carol Williams...the hot-blooded artist who
prefers to delight in the moment and wants to share it immediately with
the audience...very irresistible and atypical concert." (Baltimore Music Scene) |
|
|
| "A
virtuoso's flair...out of the thundering masses of sound Williams
produced delicate, flower-like arpeggiated figures that touched the
spirit....Rarely does one hear Messiaen's strikingly original voice
played so compellingly, so naturally." (The Washington Post) |
| "Williams
plays with verve and style and an innate musicality. More than
technically excellent, her playing is artistic without being
artsy...extremely enjoyable." (Dayton Arts & Entertaining News, Dayton Ohio) |

performance--superb!" (The Organ, England) |
| "Williams takes Barrie by storm...flamboyant...magnificent." (The Barrie Examiner, Canada) |

to the challenges of her varied programs with a transparent grace and

this fine old instrument." (The San Diego Union-Tribune) |
| "The delightful and extraordinarily talented artiste Carol Williams...truly stunning." (The Nashville News) |
| "The
power of the organ unleashed...Carol Williams chatted easily with the
audience, introducing most of the pieces herself in a warm, approachable
manner...awe inspiring...some Broadway razzamatazz...suitably
jubilant...controlled complexity and mayhem." (The Straits Times, Singapore) |
| "A
virtuosic performance...A veteran of numerous performances at the
outdoor Spreckels Pavilion, as well as recitals worldwide, Williams was
right at home with the eclectic program, playing with brilliance in the
Liszt, tenderness in the Cabena, playfulness in the Gershwin, and sheer
enjoyment in the Kleive toccata." (The Diapason, review of performance national AGO Convention, Chicago) |
