| "Zukerman´s
enormous energy shone through each soaring line. Her performance
was superb. Whether she was reflecting a whipporwill, as in
a Martinu sonata, or a perky blackbird, as in Messiaen´s
Le Merle Noir, Zukerman´s breath control and digital
dexterity were limitless. The real excitement of the recital
was the world premiere of Streams of Tender Ribboning Time
for unaccompanied alto flute, written for Zukerman by Deborah
Drattell. In a departure from the evening´s bravura
playing, Zukerman explored the mellowness of this work with
rich and languid sounds and a lazy vibrato. Zukerman underscored
the lyricism of Drattel´s work and its contemplative mood
with a gently placed tempo."
