Zoe Knighton's Bach Suites “wonderfully insightful and of assured musicianship”
Gordon Kerry has given a glowing and detailed review of Zoe Knighton's "Bach Cello" CD in the Music Trust e-zine.
“Zoe Knighton’s Bach Suites recording is wonderfully insightful and of assured musicianship. It joins a number of distinguished new Bach recordings by Australian artists such as Slava Grigoryan.
“Knighton has produced a reading of great artistic integrity.”
