Album Review: “Something like this” (10/10)

“…a deeply emotive and lyrical flight of the soul played with deep reverence and heart…

You dare not breathe in order not to miss a thing…

Something Like This is a beautifully programmed collection of well-known works performed in sumptuous style and ensemble by Walker and harpist Emily Granger.”

(Reviewed by Alison Young for Harp Column, January/February 2024 edition).

Concert Review: ACO Brahms and Dvorak

“A highlight of Dvorak’s symphony after interval, conducted by Tognetti, was the distinctive colour of the woodwind playing, particularly in the second and last movement, with comely, rounded-edged flute tone (on wooden flute) from Sally Walker.” (Reviewed by Peter McCallum for The Sydney Morning Herald, 17.11.2019)

Concert Review: Piano and Flute Recital/ Walker and Tedeschi

”Walker and Tedeschi performed on instruments so different in timbre and sound production but which contrast and complement each other so well in their hands. Simon Tedeschi proved himself to be as skilful an ensemble player as he is a soloist and Sally Walker is, I believe, Australia’s best flautist.” (Reviewed by Shamistha De Soysa for Sounds like Sydney, June 15th, 2021)
