Press Reviews
"...l'extrordinaire Densité 21.5 pour flûte, émergeant tout à coup de l'ensemble, et joué de façon sublime."
Vevey Hebdo
"The highlight of the evening (Heinz Holliger's Scardanelli Cyclus) was the flute solo from Helen Bledsoe in the piece (t)air(e): she played all the unusual effects, renting outbursts and crystalline motives with great virtuosity, impassioned and with a beautiful tone."
De Volkskrant
"From the first moment her enormous musicality strikes you, as well as her coloristic capabilities."
Entr'acte
"Bledsoe is spontaneous, dares to give, and how!"
NRC Handelsblad
"... her control of the instrument and virtuosity are beyond dispute."
De Volkskrant
"Helen Bledsoe, who played the hallucinating trills of Paolo Perezzani's L'Ombra dell'Angelo brilliantly and powerfully, ... played everything from memory, even Berio's famous Sequenza, and turned out to be quite a stage-personality."
Goudsche Courant
"She is a brilliant recitor of nonsense text, sings the Cagian vocalises [from John Cage's Song Books] masterfully, and has a good command of the family of flute instruments in all conceivable techniques."
Rheinische Post
"Ein Hörgenuss der besten Art" ("Enjoyable listening of the highest sort")
