Marianne Stucki, flutist

Myriam Hidber Dickinson enchanted the audience with a warm and clear flute sound, with a outstanding technique and rhythmical power. She proved to be a versatile flutist with the capability to interpret both classical European and popular Brazilian compositions.

The flutist Myriam Hidber Dickinson found the unique style of each work she performed – J.S. Bach, B. Godard, C. Franck, G. Donizetti.  Walking a fine line between elegance and passion, employing an amazingly inobtrusive breathing technique, she flowed smoothly and with a vast palette of glowing colors through the performance .

Dear Myriam,

Thank you so much to have played for us. It was very beautiful! You certainly have a Brazilian soul! I wish you all the best for Christmas and the New Year.

Yours sincerely,

– Victoria Cleaver, Consul Brazil in Zurich after the concert "Brasil em Cores" in the Helferei Grossmünster in Zurich on December 2009.

 

Sincere thanks and a big compliment on your CD.
You have managed to create something very expressive and enjoyable – Bravo!

– Philippe Racine, flutist and professor at the HMT Zurich, Switzerland.

 

Many thanks for your wonderful CD. I very much enjoyed listening to it; what struck me in particular was your musicality and your way of dealing with each individual piece!

– Felix Renggli, flutist and professor at the Musikhochschule Basel, Switzerland.

 

This evening I listened to your CD. I cordially congratulate you. Your vitality, your joy of playing, your boundless temperament, your strength, your emotionally expressive interpretations, are refreshing in today’s “streamlined, hyped up, dust-free and sterile” music circus.

Independent, unconventional, simply distinct – that’s you!!

– Marianne Stucki, Flutist and former professor at the HMT Zurich, Switzerland.

 

I really like the CD. When I listen to it I can easily imagine her movements and devotion while playing.

– Silvia Walser, Music School Committee Zurich, Switzerland.

 

This CD has a place of honor in my CD collection and I regularly enjoy listening to it. Piazzolla is one of my favorites. I look forward to further recordings.

I finally played your CD whilst in an awful bloody traffic jam. It took me three hours to get from London to Brigthon. . . 60 miles, so you can imagine how fed up I was. . . . and then I realized that I had your CD in the car! Perfect timing.

I found it delightful:  you have such a lovely sound and just the right amount of vibrato for my taste – I’m not a big fan of the French style of fast vib. My goodness “tricky” isn’t the right word for some of the pieces! Down right difficult is more like it!!! I loved the Debussy and the Nielsen Humoresque I think it was that grabbed me, I will have to have another listen as I couldn’t read all the track nos. properly.  Regarding Mike Mower and the Rumbango: I couldn’t understand how you were able to play it, it was so difficult.  You have a superb technique with that lovely tone, hats off!
