Review: Cuarteto Emispherio "Quartets for oboe and Strings", international magazine The Double Reed, 2016
New review for the Cuarteto Emispherio CD "Quartets for oboe and Strings" from the international magazine The Double Reed, by Jeanne Belfy, Vol 39, No1. 1, 2016
"Sarah Roper's Howarth Oboe produces a very liquid, transparent color with soft, seamless slurring... she is so suited to playing long, quiet, sustained, potentially exhausting melody lines, without the slightest indication of strain, and with the utmost relaxed and smooth projection. The tutti strings… finely-tuned unison……(Cuarteto) Emispherio does some of its most compelling work, melding into a sophisticated unit of dynamic control and sonic blend.”
