“The most striking thing about this program is how the music is not limited to any one style or school. After the first two sections of Atmospheres (marked Apprehensive and Frustrated, respectively) you think you have Wishart’s number. “Aha,” you say, “an atonalist.” But then you hear the third section (Self-Confident), and it is tonal and uncomplicated. The fourth (Tranquil) is actually melodic.”

“Four Stars: Wishart’s music, full of unexpected turns and diversions draws the listener in, inviting repeated hearings.”

“Betty Wishart has a lot to offer the listener in her wide range of stylistic expression, and the works are all superbly presented by Jeri-Mae G. Astolfi, who plays with sensitivity and accuracy.”

“An exceptional endeavor in the area of solo piano music, each selection here brings the listener on an exhilarating and enlightening journey that truly showcases the boundlessness of the piano.”

“Wishart takes us on a quasi-improvisatory piano solo ride through variations including romantic, jazz, pop ballad, contrapuntal, subtle clusters to full keyboard virtuosity.”

“If one of the most interesting and adventurous pianists of our time, namely Jeri-Mae Astolfi , is interested in your work and dedicates an entire CD to your piano repertoire, it is already in itself a signal of the value of the recording project in question.”

“Immediately, I fell for Piano Sonorities, an utterly beguiling collection of piano music by Betty R. Wishart, played by Jeri-Mae G. Astolfi. This intimate and darkly ruminative record is one of my favourites this year so far.​”

“Piano Sonorities: Music By Betty R. Wishart is the first recording of Ms. Wishart’s solo piano music on the Ravello Records label. The music is performed by award-winning pianist Jeri-Mae G. Astolfi and highlights the composer’s use of distinctive harmonic structures, tension, and space.”
