Their undoubted talents...springs into life with its optimism and freshness.' 'A beautiful interpretation...which perfectly illustrates their artistry and command. Superb.

- Musician, Magazine of the Musicians’ Union


...the playing had great delicacy and poise... beautifully executed... considerable range of tone colours. The advanced techniques required in the flute part were managed successfully and both players conveyed the spirit of the piece and their own enjoyment of it.

From the beginning Anne was professional and helped me choose the perfect pieces to help make our day so special. She played so beautifully and I was amazed how she made the flute fill the church with harmony and serenaded us all. I recommend Anne most highly to anyone who is planning such an important ceremony.

Just a very quick line to thank you both for giving such a wonderful recital yesterday – it was very well received by everyone who was there. Just perfect! I have huge admiration for you both – you have achieved so much and deserve all the success in the world.

Highest praise must go, for sheer delight and effervescence, to the Ancora Duo. Flautist Anne Allen’s dreamy tone and guitarist Sarah Freestone’s positive playing made for a delightful evening of arrangements and well-researched hidden treasures.

Anne had a profound impact on flute players and audiences alike. What has also always struck me about her flute playing is that she does not seem to have any technical problems that stand in the way of her natural, flowing style... inspiring talent...

Anne Allen is an extremely talented young flautist. Her performance was exemplary...she has a beautiful natural tone, but also a strong sense of colour and characterization.
