“What strikes first is the sheer variety of Crossland’s styles – a virtuosity of interpretation. Her performance modes allow both softness of touch and hardness of articulation … At all times, her playing is assuredly clear and controlled … Her sense of structure and form is outstanding – making the might of climaxes an experience of passionate dynamism and something inexorable … Crossland has put her admirable technique in the service of her cool-headed compassion” – ClassicalSource.com

“Within seconds you’re drawn into the gentle hammer-strokes that unlock Crossland’s warm, rounded and perpetually singing sonority … The preludes inspire Crossland’s best work” – Gramophone
