Pike's playing is muscular, her intonation immaculate. She discovers the right mix of fantasy and nostalgia in Debussy's late Sonata. This is a most impressive debut recital disc, presenting a fully fledged artist who has much to communicate through her expressive playing.

Pike finds much to relish in the three sonatas, not only in her beautiful singing tone, but also in moments of hushed mystery. Debussy's multiple gear-changes, Ravel's jazz-inflected musings and Franck's intense emotions are negotiated with ease.
