PRESS COMMENTS ON LIZARY"S DEBUT CD:
___________________________________________________________________________
"The harp is one of the most exquisite instruments ever invented, and this is an exquisite recording...The recorded sound is ideal; Lizary has also provided notes on each work in the programme. This is a disc not only for lovers of the harp, but for anyone wanting a relaxing listening experience that is also of the highest artistic merit" William Yeoman, The Classical Source.

"Ethereal. Delicate. Haunting..." Paul Siegel, The Colorado Music Buzz.

"Her playing, while leaning towards the Spanish side of the spectrum in this recital, is brilliant and fluid, musical in every area where such things are judged, and her program is intelligent and entertaining..." Steven Ritter, Fanfare Magazine.
____________________________________________________________________________
"…In the slow movement of Pescetti's Sonata in C minor Lizary lays back, allows space for the music, and the mixture of rubato and note placement makes for quite the most affecting track of the album. This is matched by her clean touch and ability to layer texture in the first movement, and her control and articulation in the third..." Paul Sarcich, Music & Vision Magazine

"...[Lizary] possesses a remarkable technique, and does not leave obviously to impress itself by certain more fearsome passages..." Frederic Cardin, La Scene Musicale Magazine.
