Gramophone Magazine 

January 2025 (Resonance)

“MieczysÅ‚aw Weinberg’s wryly acerbic Trumpet Concerto (1967) has fared well on records […] and now we have this riveting new account by Matilda Lloyd.”

Gramophone Magazine

January 2025 (Resonance)

“The encores are lovely. I love the way Lloyd opens up her vibrato at 3′23″ in Rachmaninov’s Vocalise, and how she dances through the virtuoso tricks in Goedicke’s Étude with such ease and elegance.”

NEWS LETTER BELFAST

 FEBRUARY 2024

“Blown away by young trumpeter: […] Matilda Lloyd has already made a name of herself, […] and met every challenge of this work.”

(Casta Diva)

“She produces a seamless legato, a wide range of colour, and shapes the music like a fine singer. When brilliant pyrotechnics are called for, she delivers them with skill and panache. Above all, her playing is deeply musical.”

BBC Music magazine

June 2023 (Casta diva)

“Lloyd plays with intense expression and immense warmth. The flawless tone, purity of line and dynamic subtlety she coaxes from her instrument are shown off to particularly impressive effect”

bbc music magazine

June 2023 (Casta diva)

“an album full of delights, which succeeds in showing that the trumpet can indeed be every bit as expressive as the human voice. Overall, this is immensely assured and really great fun.”
