Some reviews and Press
- A review of my cd 'London', by Darren Copeland.
- A review of my cd 'Transparent things', by Steve Benner
Two Thumbs Up by Katharine Norman was great fun and Clive Williamson’s breathless recitation of the composer’s programme note added to the wit and innovation – not to mention the sociological undertones – of the work.
Surrey Advertiser
Katharine Norman’s bold and imaginative Hard Cash (and small dreams of change) was one of the most gorgeous things I heard this week.
Anne Karpf, The Guardian
Katharine Norman’s Helpful Instructions for Circus Performers was an engaging ‘jeu d’esprit’… …including a wonderful parody of that genre of percussion solo where the player rushes back and forth...
Nick Kimberley , The Independent
Katharine Norman’s digitally produced montage uses silence to make the listener stop and ponder in a way no traditional radio producer would dare risk.
Anne Karpf, The Guardian
Norman ’s London …stays in the mind like an abstract composition, but one made up of myriad details amusingly familiar to any Londoner.
Ben Watson, The Wire (reviewing the CD, London ).
Katharine Norman’s Icarus took the evening on to another level, with four voices floating long slow, rather baroque lines against sustained chords on tape…reporting the ultimate air crash deadpan, and then reacting with a gradual dissolve into unpitched sound.
Robert Maycock, The Independent
