Review excerpts:
"Her use of register coloration was subtly effective. Five sonatas by Scarlatti (were) dispatched with an enlivening flair."
NEW YORK TIMES
"Maryse Carlin was impressive...The sound she drew was warm and flowing ; she knew how to sustain sonorities with a slight rolling of chords and a close-to-the-keyboard touch. Her changes of registration were judiciously applied for dynamic variety."
"One of the most admirable qualities of her playing is an ability to sustain long lines, to give an eloquent focus to phrases."
