"Rarely does one hear Messiaen's
strikingly
original
voice played so compellingly, so naturally"
The Washington Post
"Williams assembled with a virtuos's flair
a program
of mostly French and English composers"

"Ms. Williams plays with verve and style
and an innate musicality.
More than technically excellent, her playing is artistic without being
artsy"
The American Organist
"Exceptional virtuoso playing of the
highest order"
Chicago Chapter of the American Guild of
Organists
"Toccata, Op 53, (Vierne) with an
unflagging rhythmic pulse
and some pungent chromaticisms which made a
highly challenging
and exhilarating finale to a thoroughly enjoyable recital"
