New CD release – ROCKABY

“a bastion of individualism, an exponent of the brilliant statement… Pritchard is a volcano of physical expression, a majestic product of the interdisciplinary of the arts, which allows you to venture into strange worlds, sometimes grotesque, sometimes terrifying…”

"playful, sinister and altogether riveting."
- The Telegraph

"Pritchard seems to have a wonderfully instinctive grasp of orchestral sound. Clouds of string texture hang in the air and seem simultaneously iridescent and hazy, while Pritchard’s deployment of harp and percussion is masterly, and the constant fiddling about with the costume creates a bizarrely apt parallel sonic universe. Pritchard’s vocalisations are intoxicating and range from magnificently controlled glissandi to the crystalline delivery of words which seem absolutely material to the success of the piece, although frankly I have not the faintest idea of why this is so."
- MusicWeb International

"a delivery between that of a rock-music diva and a verbal and physical contortionist"
- ALL ABOUT JAZZ - NEW YORK

"Embrace the chaos: Alwynne Pritchard is spellbinding in her own Rockaby with a duo of Foley artists and the BBC SSO under Ilan Volkov.”
- theartsdesk

"energetic and provocative"
- The Wire

"I found Pritchard’s music in this piece projected a strange, sylvan beauty from first note to last. Decoy impresses still more with each repetition."
- MusicWeb International

"Each one had a slow inevitability, like the slow tread of some strange insect, before it dissolved into an unpredictable cloud. It was utterly captivating."
- Tim Rutherford-Johnson, British Music Collection: 50 Things

"cool and lucid"
- The Independent

"She moves through the utilitarian space with a flamboyance that is decadent, rude, and risky.”
- Public Books

"…musically intriguing."
- Gramophone

"Alwynne possesses instead an extracted, dynamic and almost magnetic bodily energy. Her luminous radiance is enhanced by the clean-shaven head, a pair of bright green, alert and curious eyes. She looks like Alda's words, but not like Alda herself."
- Italien-Kunst.dk

"a composer of originality."
- The Times

"Pritchard explored a wide spectrum of vocal timbres through vowel shaping, varied vibrato speeds, tongue clicks, and vocal fry, all with incredible control of technique."
- I CARE IF YOU LISTEN
