Richard Hand – Guitar & Flute Concert

the playing of these two fine artists thoroughly enjoyed by the capacity audience. I am sure the players’ commitment and artistry greatly pleased the composers.

Richard Hand / Jennifer Stinton Wigmore Hall 25 September 2007
..delightful new release from the very talented duo of Jennifer Stinton and Richard Hand
Jennifer Stinton’s amazing fluidity and flexibility on the flute is revealed in this recording of highly lyrical music and Richard Hand provides the perfect collaborator for these duets, a task at which he is uncommonly good …
The sound quality from both instrumentalists is most natural and the recording has a good degree of intimacy surrounding it. With his virtuoso technique Richard Hand makes a perfect partner for Jennifer Stinton’s superbly graceful; melodic playing and this duo work quite naturally and produce quality results from every track.

Hughes Percussion

Recognised as one of UK’s emerging duos
Their engagement with an audience is extremely positive and the way in which they help to bring the listener out of themselves, and feel part of the performance itself, is a significant achievement.
