“remarkable new recording…..Debra Ayers is Davidson’s excellent, involved accompanist…”
Zachary Lewis of the new Krenek Lieder CD, Time-Out Chicago

“A nod toward classical ballet was provided by Balanchine’s Sonatine…with superb live piano accompaniment of the Ravel by Debra Ayers.” Marc Shulgold, Rocky Mountain News

“Two of the finest cellists in the area gave cello/piano recitals that were the equal of what one might hear in New York on any given night. Pianist for both recitals was Debra Ayers, an accomplished musician…A dynamic performance of Shostakovich’s Cello Sonata was a highlight, with Knight and Ayers bringing an impressive feeling of abandonment to the fiery sections of the last movement.” Robert Ellis, Colorado Arts

"Cellist Marc Moskovitz… and pianist Debra Ayers, both part of Boston-based MONTAGE Music Society, gave the (rediscovered Zemlinsky Cello Sonata) an impassioned performance. Ayers was agile and confident, her part often more interesting and intricate than the cello’s.” Gail Wein, Washington Post

“Terrific disc…a tour de force for American soprano Ilana Davidson: she manages everything with extraordinary ease….Debra Ayers is her fabulous accompanist. Very highly recommended.”
4 stars, Tim Ashley of the new Krenek Lieder CD, The Guardian (UK)

“It’s a first-rate job!” William Bolcom of Slavich/Ayers Colorado premiere of Bolcom Cello Sonata
