“Each of the seven works on Claire Bryant’s blazing debut album is about relationships and playing the cello in the 21st century…it turns out to be a brilliant virtuoso display with heart.”

BBC MAGAZINE

“Gathering pieces written by friends and collaborators over the last 20 years, this is a fulsome debut from American cellist Bryant. Emotionally resonant performances permeate the selections, which have equal measures of great character, dynamism and heart.”

“Cellist Claire Bryant is what we lesser mortals would call a prodigy. In recent years, she has also become a miracle worker, taking her musical talents to some of the least served people in America — incarcerated men at the Lee Correctional Institution, South Carolina’s largest maximum-security prison — and transforming them into polished musicians and performers.”
