“… Spotlight is a showcase for a totally natural musician, shining light on both the player and the music that has played a crucial part in Katrina’s rise to prominence as the leading baritone player of her generation. However, it is also a clear representation of the symbiosis that exists between the soloist, Nicholas Childs and Black Dyke, that Katrina has become synonymous with and for which her affection is evident throughout this recording. What becomes immediately apparent is the sheer diversity of the soloist’s virtuosity… Black Dyke’s accompaniment is well-nigh perfect. Sensitive, dynamically aware and with a sound that is never less than totally empathetic with the soloist’s – it all adds up to a fine release that shines the ‘spotlight’ brightly on a dazzling talent.”
