Flute and Piano Recital, St Martin-in-the-Fields, with pianist Simon Gilliver (2009)

"I attended Holly’s lunchtime concert at St Martin-in-the Fields on the 22nd of September 2009 at which she performed Tsuru-no-Sugomori by Wil Offermans. She mastered all the passagework and portrayed the various moods with a most convincing sense of authentic style." - Richard Stagg, B.A.Cantab, L.R.A.M.

Mystical Moonlight - Flute and Piano Recital, Hertford Music Society, with pianist Glian Llwyd (2009)

"On Sunday 18th January 2009 we were treated to a flute and piano recital from Holly Cook and Glian Llwyd.

This was a performance of the highest standard since the two have played together many times. It was evident in their very tight ensemble. This was needed especially in their very first offering, the Sonata by Prokofiev. This was modern but highly accessible music, as indeed it had had to be to please the Communist authorities in Russia.

What followed was a total contrast - a Chinese bamboo flute, played as one would a clarinet. Holly produced a beguiling mystical tone in Moonlight over Spring River.

The first half ended with a merry Hungarian Pastoral Fantasy - simple folky and melodic, played convincingly one 'dance' succeeded another. One could almost smell the goulash.

The second half was more modern and the Sonata by Robert Muczynski was a technical tour de force by our soloists, with jazzy, stabbing rhythms. Holly took a well-earned rest while Glian played the Debussy favourite, La fille aux cheveux de lin.

John Rutter's music is always dependable but chiefly choral so it was a special pleasure to hear his Suite Antique. This was played with great affection and provided a worthy finale to the afternoon.

Glian also plays the harp, so watch out for these names!" - Harold Chaplin – Chairman
