"At the piano, Annabel Thwaite displayed a flair and musical temperament that was a match for Terfel in all respects. It was evident from the very first in the Finzi, but perhaps best displayed in the three Schubert songs on the program. She was an equal partner in his wondrous account of “Litanei auf des Fest Allerseelen” and like he, contributed immeasurably to a particularly dramatic “Auf dem Wasser zu Singen.” New York Classical Times, Carnegie Hall Recital with Sir Bryn Terfel
"......sincere kudos to the superb work of pianist Annabel Thwaite, who deserved the highest praise for her sensitivity and support of the singer. She received a well-deserved ovation at the end." Koerner Hall Recital with Sir Bryn Terfel
“Greatly enhancing the evening was the piano accompaniment by Annabel Thwaite whose brilliantly controlled playing complemented the singer perfectly.”
Ian Sargeant, Bach society
