“As these sonatas rarely appear in recitals, this CD should be welcomed. Indeed, it seems to be the only music by Flackton currently available. The Handel Sonata in G minor … is a fine piece in four movements [and] suits the viola well. Ms. Steely makes a handsome sound … it is good to have this unfamiliar repertoire available on CD.”

Philip Borg-Wheeler, MusicWeb International – January 2012

"The performers are technically proficient, making Flackton’s lovely music the center of attention, as it should be. Nothing is exaggerated; tempos are well chosen. The program is very attractive and well recorded. Anyone looking to explore the byways of late Baroque chamber music will find this disc a delight."

Ron Salemi, Fanfare - July/August 2011

"Kathryn Steely has a beautiful viola tone, and thank God she hasn’t succumbed to the antivibrato forces in musicology; she plays a rich sounding modern instrument... her playing is excellent; the harpsichord has a full, round sound and a mellifluous lute stop."

Estep, American Record Guide - July/August 2011

"This is an enjoyable collection that should win fans for the very agreeable music of Mr. Flackton. The performers, all with connections to Baylor University, do Flackton proud. Kathryn Steely, associate professor of viola at Baylor, has a rich tone and plays very cleanly, with a fine sense of style. Her daughter Adrienne, who joins her on cello in the Abel, is certainly no slouch herself and produces an equality mellow and flowing tone. "
