"A most gifted pianist"
Musical Opinion, Proms edition 2011
"The opening piano work on this first-class collection, the Allegro Appassionato Op. 70, is quite captivating, and played by Christine Croshaw with the lightest touch. The Suite for Piano looks back affectionately at the Baroque era. After its arrestingly strong Prelude and Fugue, its three movements have an appealing melodic elegance, with the spiccato closing Gigue played with an infectious bounce.
Croshaw is a first-rate artist, as her musical characterisation fully demonstrates. Excellent recording throughout...most rewarding.."
Ivan March, Gramophone, January 2012
"Yet it is the artists to whom we always owe a debt and in particular Christine Croshaw. Hers is playing almost of another age, belonging to a musical mind with a real sense of direction and purpose, yet executed in a manner most fluid and colourful, often flamboyant and at times incredibly beautiful."
Musical Pointers 2011
"Her nuanced, revelatory pianism seems almost outside of time in its understated eloquence, and in a way the chosen repertoire is perfectly suited. Her artless poetry at the keyboard is evident in Saint-Saëns' retro, and magical, Piano Suite, for example. Her athletic legerdemain in Hummel's Rondo Brillant in B minor seems undiminished in the hugely strenuous Etude en forme de Valse in D flat or the Allegro Appassionato op.70 of her Saint-Saëns recital."
