Quotes & Reviews “Welde herself constantly draws on what appears to be an endless well of fresh colouristic possibilities.” — Charlotte Gardner, Gramophone “A quality debut that includes perhaps one of the finest Larks you’ll ever hear...” — Tully Potter, The Strad “She is a natural and communicative musician with a strong sense of integrity.” — Janine Jansen “For Welde, this is an auspicious debut disc… In the slow movement of the Bruch, Welde times her phrases to perfection with an unforced tenderness and touching simplicity that radiates contentment.” — Julian Haylock, BBC Music Magazine “She is a natural and very communicative chamber music player and has the projection, personality and musicality to engage the audience as a soloist.” — Leif Ove Andsnes
