Selected Reviews of Recordings and Performances

"expertly performed by Swift with a robust tone and vibrant articulations in the instrument’s lowest register"
"An excellent debut, the chemistry between Swift and Hu is quite fascinating, and their delivery admirable. Let’s hope this isn’t the only collaboration between the pair."
~Tom Haugen, Take Effect
"Swift’s playing throughout is articulate and commanding: plenty of technical mastery, with a warm tone and expressive vibrato."
"Room to Breathe is an impressive 2023 debut release...The music feels thrillingly off kilter and wild, but Swift’s impressive technical command keeps everything on the rails and makes the music dance"
"Swift and Hu's collaboration is exceptional...Room to Breathe is an achievement of monumental effort and should serve as an inspiration not just for bassoonists but for all musicians aiming to further their craft."
