“An ambitious survey of late twentieth century pieces for solo flute. This disc will no doubt be essential listening for flautists engaged with the contemporary music scene. The performances are as authoritative as it gets!” - Neil Horner (Music Web)

“Ruffer's playing is fastidious, impassioned and silver-tongued throughout.” - Paul Driver (The Sunday Times)
