RECORDING REVIEW:  From Earth & Sky: Music of Jenni Brandon

"The present disc features [Jenni Brandon’s] oboe music, vividly presented by oboist Lindabeth Binkley and her colleagues on oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and piano. Wood Song for solo oboe opens the recital, and from the first notes I heard from Binkley I realized I was in for a treat. Her playing is suave and expressive, with the purest tone imaginable."  -David DeBoor Canfield, Fanfare Magazine (Issue 44:3)
