  • Tha Strad - July 2025

    (...) Fanny Clamagirand weaves the pentatonic themes and dancing dotted-rhythm passagework with charm and style, and in the cadenza she dashes off double-stops and arabesques with aplomb.Her playing is as captivating and open-hearted as the piece itself, with an engaging blend of subtlety and folk-like naïvety, her tone glistening and warm. She dispatches Price’s inventive discourses with ease and agility. In the dreaming Andante she is relaxed and musing, rhythmically flexible, and the finale is nimble and occasionally dramatic (...)
    (...) rhythmic élan (...) narrative surety by Clamagirand as she switches moods – from the humorous to suave, languid lyricism, all full of character and an easy virtuosity.

  • Textura.org | Canada - July 2025

    Helping to distinguish the release are stellar concerto soloists, pianist Han Chen and violinist Fanny Clamagirand. (...) Needless to say, both soloists comport themselves superbly in their Price renditions.(...) The violinist takes to the material with seeming delight as she helps paint the picturesque scene, her playing expressive and lyrical as it progresses through a series of different contexts and riveting cadenza-like passages. Clamagirand's tone is refined but not stiff and thus well-complements the unpretentious folk-tinged quality of the writing. Delivered at a slower pace, the “Andante" adds a bluesy, rather Gerswhwinesque character to Price's lush orchestration and singing folk melodies. The closing “Allegro” is, naturally, spirited and demands from the soloist nimble-fingered execution, and the dynamic Clamagirand shows herself well up to the challenge. (...)
