Danielle Perrett

Reviews

"Sheer beauty of sound and virtuosity of technique were always subordinated to thoughtful musicianship and keen interpretative intelligence."         The Times

 "Charmingly played... and served up with forethought and skill."                                The Guardian

 "Zabel's La Source was finely played by Danielle Perrett; Duvernoy's fascinating Nocturne no. 1 for horn and harp was another delight and winningly projected with Gillian Jones."                       Musical Opinion

 "Miss Perrett's  virtuoso performance of the (Sophia) Dussek sonata (C minor)... was simply brilliant and dynamic playing of a single-action concert harp, marked by dexterous fingering and a memorable singing tone."                                                                                                                           Belfast Newsletter

 “In the Flute and Harp Concerto, K299, the solo parts were elegantly and accurately played by Rachel Brown and Danielle Perrett...”                                                                                                 The Times

 

DUSSEK AND THE HARP on Meridian:

There is plenty to enjoy in Danielle Perrett's harp playing. It is vivacious, musically shaped, phrased and paced with obvious enjoyment and there is a very wide range of dynamic...this recording has some charming music played with affection and enthusiasm. It is to be recommended for this as well as for the choice of some unknown repertoire."                                                                                                 RCM Magazine

 "This is a charming disc, light elegant and poised, as 18th century music performed on instruments of the period should be."                                                                                                          BBC Music Magazine

"It is Danielle Perrett's stunning solo harp playing which offers the deepest insight into Rubbra's serene, pure writing."                                                                                                               BBC Music Magazine

 "Danielle Perrett plays with finesse and sensitivity and I particularly admire her free, imaginative handling of  the Pezzo Ostinato. She brings an authority to this music."                                                     Gramophone

 "... the highly sensitive harp playing of Danielle Perrett, an artist of great sensitivity with a thorough mastery of Rubbra's contemplative inner world."                                                        Hi-Fi News & Record Review

 "... the harp pieces are both exquisitely played and could hardly be more authoritative."
