The Guardian
“Craig, who represents virtuosity at its most beguiling, gave exquisite performances of Kaija Saariaho’s Laconisme de l’Aile and Michael Finnissy’s beautiful Ulpirra, while James Dillon’s Sgothan, pushing the instrument to its technical and expressive limits, was a tour de force.”

“Just a few notes of Dillon’s Sgothan, suffused with ground-breaking multiple techniques, instilled confidence that this was a musician who would give an exemplary account of the standard flute repertoire too…. Craig is a worthy heir to UK’s Nancy Ruffer of the older generation and Mario Caroli of the younger flute virtuosi on the continent.”
