Sydney Morning Herald, April 2002, Peter McCallum : A fine vintage.    This is vintage Woodward performing vintage Debussy : a clear, luxurious recorded sound, a distinctive yet discreet musical personality and an imaginative, immaculate control of piano sonority are informed by reverence for the composer’s text.  It is playing distilled from a lifetime’s experience with this music, with each performance commanding individual attention and respect…. it is a set to return to again and again.



“Woodward played with astonishing calm… in Woodward I sensed the composer’s real intentions…  here is a player with real integrity.”  Christchurch Symphony, Rachmaninov Third Piano Concerto, 1995
