SARA MINELLI
Flautist
ALBUM REVIEWS:
“... As required of any well executed performances of contemporary compositions, Minelli warms the listener up to her technical prowess, a mere taster of what’s to come..
this album successfully shows off Minelli ‘ s skilled capability of handling contemporary repertoire and makes an interesting listen as well as an example for students of contemporary repertoire. “

"Sara Minelli ‘s New Resonances for Flute (EMA Vinci) takes this sense of subversion even further – her flute is something to create breathy textures, popping effects, unexpected trills and drowsy slurs”
